"Taylor Swift writing diss track right now": NFL fans stunned as Travis Kelce gets slapped by Teair Tart and Chargers DT doesn't get ejected

NFL fans couldn't believe referees didn't eject LA Chargers defensive tackle Teair Tart after he slapped Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in front of the referees on Friday.

At 8:24 in the third quarter, as the play ended, Kelce pushed Tart after they got entangled. The Chargers player took issue with Kelce's actions and hit him in the face with an open hand.

The referees only ruled this action a personal foul and gave the Chiefs an automatic first down, which put them closer to the end zone. Many fans were unhappy about how referees handled the situation and criticized them on social media.

"Taylor writing a Teair Tart diss track as we speak," one fan said.

Fans compared this crew's officiating to the Cowboys-Eagles game on Thursday.

"But they let the cowboys do this last night. Sick officiating," one fan said.

"This not being an ejection is f***ing insane?" another fan said.

"How is he not ejected for this s**t? Unreal," another fan questioned.

The incident ultimately took the Chiefs to the end zone when Patrick Mahomes completed an 11-yard run.

The incident was similar to Shilo Sanders' ejection from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' preseason finale against the Buffalo Bills on Aug. 23 after he threw a punch at tight end Zach Davidson.

Travis Kelce scored a touchdown in Chiefs-Chargers game

Travis Kelce had a night full of ups and downs, starting with a big hit on teammate Xavier Worthy three scrimmage plays into the game and the slap by Teair Tart. He bounced back in the third quarter, connecting with Patrick Mahomes for a 37-yard touchdown that cut the Chargers' lead to 20-18 after the Chiefs failed the 2-point conversion.

Kelce finished with two receptions for 47 yards and one touchdown. Kansas City couldn't move past the Chargers and started the season 0-1, dropping a game against arguably their biggest obstacle in the AFC West this campaign.
