BREAKING NEWS: Travis Kelce fined $14K for emulating Tony Gonzalez’s signature goalpost dunk.

Travis Kelce’s milestone catch on Christmas Day has come with a fine.

The tight end’s touchdown catch in Kansas City’s win over Pittsburgh was the 77th of his career, moving him past Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez on the Chiefs’ all-time list.

After the touchdown, Kelce — Taylor Swift’s famous boyfriend — dunked the ball over the goal post, which was a violation of NFL rules.

The league announced Saturday that it fined Kelce $14,069 for “Unsportmanlike Conduct Use of Prop,” according to multiple reports.

Gonzalez, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2019, thanked Kelce for the recognition and offered to pay his fine.

Swift — who was not in attendance for Kelce’s milestone touchdown — found time to like Instagram posts from the Chiefs account and the account for her boyfriend and brother Jason’s “New Heights” podcast that shouted out Travis for the achievement.

Before the league made it illegal, Gonzalez made the goalpost dunk a signature move after every one of his touchdowns throughout his career that was emulated by many other receivers at the time.

But in 2013, Saints tight end Jimmy Graham caused a game to be delayed when he knocked the goal post off balance with a dunk.

In the following offseason, the NFL made the move a penalty, aka “The Jimmy Graham rule.”

Gonzalez played for the Chiefs from 1997-2008, and Kelce joined Kansas City in 2013.
