The Kansas City Chiefs seemingly got away with everything during their opening season game, including a dirty play from Travis Kelce on Roquan Smith.
Baltimore Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith was furious with a Kansas City Chiefs tight end on Thursday, but it wasn’t Kelce.
One play from that game showed Travis Kelce and the Chiefs’ offensive line manhandling Smith to help Xavier Worthy score his first NFL touchdown.
In a video posted to X, formerly Twitter, showed tight end Travis Kelce hitting Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith with a dirty blindside hit to spring Worthy free for the six-point score.

He was not penalized on the play.
Roquan Smith was during the Ravens’ postgame press conference, and this play may have been the moment that set him off.
Roquan Smith Accuses Patrick Mahomes of Flopping While Issuing Warning To Chiefs Tight End
The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens 27-20 in Week 1 to open the season.
The game ended after Isaiah Likely’s toe caught the out-of-bounds line, and his previously ruled touchdown was taken off the board with no time left on the clock.
Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith had some strong words after the game when it came to Chiefs tight end Peyton Hendershot.
When asked about a late hit that wasn’t called, Smith told the media that Mahomes had flopped and then proceeded to be shoved by somebody on the sidelines.

“He flopped,” Smith said, per SI. “Yeah, he flopped. That’s why the referees didn’t call it. It was a great no-call by the ref. But, whoever 88 is, I don’t know who he is, but he better watch himself. He did a little slick push. Whoever No. 88 is, I have no idea who he is, but I’ll see him when I see him.”
