The Kelce brothers share a close bond, even hosting a podcast where they discuss the latest happenings in the NFL and beyond. This time, only Travis Kelce spoke after the Kansas City Chiefs’ loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl, but now Jason Kelce has shared his thoughts on social media.
As a lifelong Eagles supporter, the elder Kelce congratulated his former teammates and friends on their championship win, two years after their heartbreaking loss to the Chiefs.
“Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles, my former teammates, and friends on being SB LIX Champions!! There were a lot of emotions last night, and now that I’ve collected my thoughts, I’ll attempt to share them in the longest tweet ever,” Jason Kelce posted on X.
Kelce also reflected on the emotional challenge of watching the game, torn between supporting his brother and rooting for the Eagles. “On one hand, I wanted what was best for my brother and to see his success. And on the other hand, there are so many people, teammates, coaches, and staff, within the Philadelphia Eagles organization that I care deeply about,” he wrote.
