Tensions are already high for both the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs hours before the start of the AFC Championship game on Sunday afternoon.
While warming up in preparation for today's game, Justin Tucker began his warmups on the Chiefs side of the field. Most kickers tend to warm up together and this wasn't too much of a surprise.

Just don't tell Travis Kelce that.
The All-Pro tight end took offense to the Ravens' kicker warming up in front of quarterback Patrick Mahomes and ended up doing something about his overall frustrations.
Travis Kelce told Justin Tucker he needed to move because their QB Patrick Mahomes had to warm up. So Kelce kicked his ball away and threw his helmet. 😂 pic.twitter.com/pFF0DC1yA7

It did not look like much came of Kelce removing most of Tucker's pregame equipment. For a field that's essentially only 118 yards, the Chiefs want all the room they need to prepare for Championship Sunday.
Even if it's at the expense of one of the best kickers in NFL history on the other side.
Mahomes is 'Darth Vader' in Chiefs vs. Ravens?
Tensions appear to already be high, and we haven't even hit kickoff yet between the Ravens and Chiefs.
