Travis Kelce Accuses Jaylon Moore of Flinching to Draw False Start Penalty

Travis Kelce Accuses Jaylon Moore of Flinching to Draw False Start Penalty

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce said that Denver Broncos offensive lineman Jaylon Moore intentionally flinched before the snap to draw a false start penalty during their recent matchup.

Kelce made the comment during a postgame interview, suggesting Moore's movement was a deliberate tactic to induce an offside call on the defense.

The incident occurred in the second quarter when Moore shifted his stance abruptly, causing a defensive player to jump across the line of scrimmage. Officials flagged the defense for offside, but Kelce argued the offensive lineman's flinch should have been penalized instead.

Neither the NFL nor the Broncos have issued an official response to Kelce's accusation.
