“The way it works is each team’s kicker goes to the other team’s designated warm-up area on the field,” he explained in a video posted to Instagram.
Justin continued: “I saw Patrick there trying to warm up and do some kickbacks, so he asked me while I was on the ground if he could move my helmet. So I happily got up and moved my helmet out of the way, at least I thought it was far enough out of the way. And then Travis comes up and just kicks my stuff and throws my helmet, and I thought it was all just a bit of cleverness, all for fun, but they seemed to be taking it a little more seriously.”
Justin explained that he’s “never had any problems with anyone,” as kickers typically practice kicking on both sides of the field. “That’s the way we’ve always done it and the way kickers in the league have always done it.”
The Chiefs ended up winning the game over the Ravens and will play in the Super Bowl on February 11.
