Jason Kelce does not want to see his brother Travis win a third successive Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs if they are competing against his beloved Philadelphia Eagles.
The 36-year-old watched his younger sibling lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy for the third time in five years following a dramatic overtime victory against the San Francisco 49ers in February. The 25-22 win meant the Chiefs became the first NFL team since the New England Patriots in 2003 and 2004 to win back-to-back Super Bowl titles. Jason ended his 13-year career following the end of the 2023 season which saw the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Eagles in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.
“I will still root for Travis to have a good game because he’s my brother, but I will definitely be cheering on the Eagles in this scenario.”
The Chiefs tight end described his brother’s comments as “bull****” before adding: “Well good luck to your Eagles.”
The pair faced one another in the 2023 Super Bowl which Travis and the Chiefs won 38-35, despite the Eagles holding a 24-14 lead at halftime. In fact, that crushing defeat was one of the reasons behind Kelce wanting to play in 2023, as well as missing the camaraderie and teamwork in the game.
“Having lost one now, I think for sure — you can try and not let that be a factor, but man, the hunger and the desire to get back there and finish it,” he told Sports Take with Rob Ellis and Derrick Gunn back in 2023. “Even though it’s going to be a completely new season, a new set of guys and not the same team, you can’t help but that be a factor.”

Jason Kelce does not want to see his brother Travis win a third successive Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs if they are competing against his beloved Philadelphia Eagles.
The 36-year-old watched his younger sibling lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy for the third time in five years following a dramatic overtime victory against the San Francisco 49ers in February. The 25-22 win meant the Chiefs became the first NFL team since the New England Patriots in 2003 and 2004 to win back-to-back Super Bowl titles. Jason ended his 13-year career following the end of the 2023 season which saw the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Eagles in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.
As he watches the action as a fan from next season, the center said he will cheer on the Eagles whom he represented for his entire career, even when they play against Travis and the Chiefs. “I will root for the Eagles of course because I will always be an Eagle first and foremost,” the Super Bowl LII winner said when asked who he would support on the latest New Heights podcast episode.“I will still root for Travis to have a good game because he’s my brother, but I will definitely be cheering on the Eagles in this scenario.”
The Chiefs tight end described his brother’s comments as “bull****” before adding: “Well good luck to your Eagles.”

It’s not the actual game, you know, it’s being in the locker room, it’s going and playing the game but with your teammates. It’s being around, quite frankly, a group of individuals who are all driven to be the best they can be. I’ve learned through talking to former players that that is the thing I’m probably going to miss the most.”
When discussing his retirement with Kelce in a previous edition of their podcast, Jason said it has yet to sink in. “Well, zero different. I’ve actually still gone down to the facility to get a couple of weight-lifting sessions in,” the six-time first-team All-Pro player said in March. “I’m a creature of habit. I feel no different.
“I’m assuming once, you know, organized team activities (OTAs) start up, and especially once training camp and the season starts rolling around, it’ll really start to hit a little bit more. But one week in, yeah, not much different to be honest with you.”
