The Kansas City Chiefs might have won the AFC West battle with the Los Angeles Chargers last week, but safety Derwin James Jr. got the best of tight end Travis Kelce with a powerbomb tackle that led to tons of reaction on social media.

Well, Kelce’s brother, Jason, had him relive that moment during their podcast "New Heights."

Travis Kelce caught a ball near the goal line from Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes last Thursday, and James was not going to let him collect a touchdown on that play.

"I made a cutback, and then all of a sudden, he is on me like lightning," Kelce said. "I mean, he surprised the s--- out of me. Lower man always wins in football."

Kelce has a point — usually it’s the guy that gets lower that finishes the play. James got into Kelce’s core and drove through the 6-foot-5, 256-pound tight end until he had him in the air. Luckily, nobody was hurt in the process over the powerful tackle.

Kelce even said James was a gentleman about the situation.

"When I felt him wrap his arms around my legs, I’m chuckling in my mind. I’m like, ‘This is not about to end well for me right now.’ I’m going up, [and] what goes up must come down," he said.
