Chiefs TE Travis Kelce Has ‘Super Smash Bros’ Inspired TD Celebration

September 18, 2015

Although his team suffered a brutal loss to the Broncos Thursday night, last Sunday Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce had the game of his life, reeling in two TDs, one of which was a career-long reception.

I just learned today that his latest TD from last Sunday’s win against Houston involved a subtle yet now obvious inspired move from our friend Donkey Kong.

Travis Kelce had one TD. Travis Kelce now has TWO TDs. And this one went for FORTY-TWO Yards. #KCvsHOU http://t.co/sT5Io8o0pT

Here’s more evidence of Kelce’s self-procalimed inspiration from Super Smash Brothers.

Annnddd boom goes the dynamite.

Touchdown celebrations, for the most part, are banned by the NFL. So it’s nice to know that Kelce is clever enough to get away with something special.
