Chiefs TE Kelce rips ref over failed 2-point try

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Tight end Travis Kelce wasn't shy in his criticism of referee Carl Cheffers for the holding penalty on tackle Eric Fisher that cost the Kansas City Chiefs what would have been the tying two-point conversion late in their 18-16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

"Referee No. 51 shouldn't even be able to wear a zebra jersey ever again," Kelce said. "He shouldn't even be able to work at f------ Foot Locker."

Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith agreed with Kelce, using milder tones.
