Justin Watson got chippy in the end zone as our Chiefs beat the Raiders 31-17 in NFL Week 12, and he's spoken out on the incident.
Kansas City was assessed a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that ultimately proved inconsequential, but that didn't stop Watson's teammates from having fun at the playmaker's expense.

Watson has been one of the Chiefs' most dependable players this season, accumulating 332 yards on 20 catches with a pair of TDs.
He's played the second-most snaps at receiver over the last two weeks and looks to be an important part of Kansas City's offense moving forward.

You can see Watson get bumped and fall down before catching the TD pass from Patrick Mahomes. Watson promptly gets in the defender's face, leading to the penalty.
The penalty didn't ultimately matter as Kansas City prevailed regardless, and it was honestly nice to see some chippiness from the Chiefs' unit.
With a physical Packers team on deck, fingers crossed Watson stays aggressive.
