Several NFL teams did not honor Charlie Kirk with a moment of silence or tribute following his tragic killing in Utah. The teams that chose not to hold a tribute include:

• Baltimore Ravens
• Cincinnati Bengals
• Detroit Lions
• Indianapolis Colts
• Minnesota Vikings
• Pittsburgh Steelers

Additionally, the Detroit Lions and Baltimore Ravens specifically declined to show respect, which sparked public outrage. Other teams like the New York Jets, Dallas Cowboys, Miami Dolphins, New Orleans Saints, Tennessee Titans, Arizona Cardinals, and Kansas City Chiefs did hold moments of silence or tributes for him. The Houston Texans held a moment of silence but did not specifically mention Charlie Kirk, citing a desire to honor all victims of violence and natural disasters generally. This information reflects the situation around September 14-15, 2025, when the NFL season had just started and the league left the decision of honoring him to individual teams, which led to a mixed response across the league.
