The Kansas City Chiefs are one win away from their third consecutive Super Bowl appearance because they have reached the AFC Championship game for the third year in a row by defeating the Houston Texans last week.
Before Saturday’s AFC Divisional Round game, Texans player Kris Boyd went viral for throwing his helmet and argued with his coach, Frank Ross. The NFL called this unsportsmanlike conduct.
His behavior caused a 15-yard penalty for the Texans as Kris Boyd took off his helmet and threw it on the ground. His misbehavior with the coach garnered him significant attention and resulted in a fine of approximately $8,056.
