    What's Tucker Say About AFC Championship Incident With Kelce?

    By Jonah Morgan,

    The Kansas City Chiefs were able to beat the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship this past season, and they will have a rematch in Week 1 of the regular season.

    Ravens star kicker Justin Tucker took it upon himself to try and get under the skin of Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes by putting his stuff right by where they were warming up. Kelce responded by throwing the kicker's stuff away while he watched.

    Tucker was asked about the incident in a recent interview ahead of the matchup between the two AFC juggernauts, and he refused to talk about it, instead focusing on the game ahead.

    "All I’ll say about it is I’m excited to go into a great environment, play against a great football team, with great players, great coaches, and do everything I can to prepare myself to be ready to contribute to the Ravens winning a football game," Tucker said, per ESPN's Jamison Hensley .

    It is probably in Tucker's best interests to not elaborate on the incident, as his team went on to lose that game while only scoring 10 points.

    The Chiefs will be looking for the same outcome when they face off against Tucker and the Ravens in Week 1 of the regular season on Thursday night.
