Chiefs Announce Internal Discipline for Travis Kelce After Giants Game, Amid the NFL’s Just-Announced Fine Against Him

Fresh off a 22–9 win over the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium, the Kansas City Chiefs imposed light, internal discipline on tight end Travis Kelce for his sideline confrontation with head coach Andy Reid. General manager Brett Veach made the announcement and underscored the club’s standards:

“Andy Reid feels okay about it, but at the Chiefs, no player is bigger than the team, and the head coach must be respected absolutely. Especially a veteran like Travis should understand this.”

Team sources characterized the action as an educational reminder consistent with club policy and not something that will affect Kelce’s availability next week. Importantly, Kelce apologized to Andy Reid immediately after the game and again during an internal meeting early this morning.

In keeping with his measured tone, Andy Reid reiterated his support for his star tight end while drawing clear boundaries: he “loves Travis’s passion,” acknowledged that “sometimes I have to be the policeman,” and urged everyone to “Don’t make too much of it.” The message: passion is welcome, but discipline and respect come first.

Television cameras captured the exchange during a first half in which Kansas City’s offense struggled to finish drives, settling for field goals. The Chiefs steadied in the second half to close out their first victory of the season.

From the organization’s perspective, the internal step reaffirms a core tenet of the Chiefs’ culture: nobody stands above the team. With Kelce’s apology accepted and Reid’s stance clear, the club considers the matter resolved and turns its attention to the Baltimore Ravens.

Eagles Star CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Cooper DeJean is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 game , as his cousin Justin Fuller a respected military-trained skydiving instructor, died in a tragic tandem jump accident near Nashville.   Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his parachute harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending its personnel for the effort. Justin Fuller, known by the nickname "Spidey," died after a tandem skydiving jump went wrong on Oct. 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee.  (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey ) Fuller, known affectionately as “Spidey,” had completed more than 5,000 jumps and trained U.S. military personnel in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused, and committed to lifting others higher — both in life and in the air.”   DeJean —whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Dejean that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how he lives and plays today.” In the Eagles’ defensive system, DeJean has steadily earned complete trust thanks to his versatility — working outside at corner, in the slot (nickel), and on coverage units — and standing out for top-end speed, precise tackling angles, and the ability to read quarterbacks. Coaches describe him as “calm, wise beyond his years, and disciplined at the catch point,” consistently maintaining leverage and finishing clean in tight spaces. Through the first five games of 2025, DeJean has played every defensive snap and totaled 36 tackles (26 solo) with five passes defensed, reinforcing his value on the perimeter and inside.  The Philadelphia Eagles have provided time and private support for DeJean and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. An FAA investigation into the accident is underway, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in across social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans nationwide.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. DeJean kept his public remarks brief before being embraced by teammates:“He taught me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
