Tart slapped Kelce on the front of his helmet following a two-yard run by Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt with a little over eight minutes remaining in the third quarter.<\/p>\n

Officials quickly threw a flag and penalized Tart for unnecessary roughness.<\/p>\n

The penalty moved the football to the Chargers\u2019 11-yard line. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes reached the end zone on an 11-yard run on the ensuing play.<\/p>\n

Tart produced one tackle and two pass deflections in the Chargers\u2019 Week 1 win. Pro Football Focus gave Tart a 70.4 grade for his performance, the fifth highest grade among Los Angeles defenders in Week 1.<\/p>\n
