The incident occcured after the opening kick-off, which was returned for a long gain by Chiefs receiver Nikko Remigio.
Remigio then fumbled the ball a he was being tackled, but the Chiefs were able to recover the ball and retain possession.
Texans special teamer Kris Boyd forced the fumble and before looking to see if it was even recovered by his own team, he ran towards the sideline to celebrate.
Boyd tossed his helmet off in excitement, which incurred a unsportsmanlike penalty.
Given Boyd celebrated early even though his team didn’t recover the ball and earned a penalty, Texans special teams coach Frank Ross gave his player a serve.
Boyd didn’t respond to kindly to that, pushing Ross, with the two having to be separated.
Many on social media were shocked by Boyd’s actions.
The Chiefs have the only touchdown of the game. Running back Kareem Hunt running into the end zone from short range in the second quarter.
