Travis Kelce, who’s been riding a high this season with stellar performances and off-the-field buzz, couldn’t resist a playful jab at Tommy DeVito after Baker Mayfield’s antics stole the show. Mayfield, who’s been making headlines with the Bucs, pulled off something that’s got everyone talking: a viral celebration during Tampa Bay’s dominant 30-7 victory over the Giants.

Travis Kelce brought the laughs on the New Heights podcast, hilariously mimicking Baker Mayfield’s viral celebration during the Buccaneers’ win. The moment became even spicier when Mayfield used his signature “Shake and Bake” move to poke fun at Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito. “That’s professional trolling by Baker,” Travis quipped, adding, “Shake and bake, Baker! Oh man, that’s a spicy beat!” Enjoying the mockery, Travis couldn’t resist adding his flair to the moment, keeping the banter alive.

The brothers didn’t stop there, diving into Baker’s antics and even questioning whether he had the “Italian okay” to pull off the jab at DeVito. Travis’s playful commentary was matched by Jason Kelce, as the duo cracked jokes about Mayfield’s cheeky celebrations. They also gave a nod to Marshawn Lynch’s infamous moves, tying it all together in their signature, lighthearted style. If there’s one thing the Kelce brothers excel at—aside from football—it’s turning NFL moments into pure comedy gold.

Midway through the second quarter, Mayfield leapt into the end zone for a dramatic 10-yard touchdown, braving stiff Giants’ defense. What caught fans off-guard was his tribute to Tommy DeVito’s signature pinched-fingers celebration. “It’s not a disrespectful thing,” Mayfield clarified later. “I met Tommy in Vegas…he’s got swag. Fans love him here.” Spontaneous or not, it hyped up the crowd and reminded New York of their struggles.

DeVito, meanwhile, brushed it off coolly, admitting, “I didn’t even notice until someone mentioned it.” Despite a tough return marred by a brutal sack, DeVito remains optimistic, saying, “I’ll be OK.”

Have an interesting take?

This performance brought back memories of Mayfield’s heroics against the Kansas City Chiefs a few weeks ago, where he battled Patrick Mahomes in a 30-24 overtime thriller. Mayfield tied the game in the final 30 seconds of regulation, finishing with 199 passing yards and two touchdowns. Postgame, he shared mutual respect with Travis Kelce, who had a career-high 14 receptions for 100 yards. “Travis is a baller, and it’s always fun competing against the best,” Mayfield said after the game.

While Kansas City remains the AFC’s juggernaut, Mayfield’s grit and determination continue to shine, proving he’s ready to take the Bucs to new heights.
