Tight end Travis Kelce ripped referee Carl Cheffers following the Kansas City Chiefs' 18-16 AFC Divisional Round loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Jan. 15, but he spoke up Thursday and apologized for the tone of his postgame comments.
Although Kelce initially told reporters Cheffers "shouldn't even be able to work at f--king Foot Locker" after left tackle Eric fisher was flagged for a holding penalty that negated what would have been a game-tying two-point conversion, per ESPN.com's Adam Teicher, he acknowledged his words came out harshly.
