Super Bowl LVII will mark the first time two brothers will face off on football’s biggest stage.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his older sibling Jason, a Philadelphia Eagles center, are both headed to Glendale, Arizona for the February 12 clash.
Jason, 35, had his Super Bowl ticket punched earlier on Sunday when he helped the Eagles beat the visiting San Francisco 49ers, 31-7, in the NFC title game as Philadelphia gained 148 yards on the ground. Then, in the AFC Championship, 33-year-old Travis hauled in seven catches on just eight targets for 78 yards and a crucial touchdown in the 23-20 win over the visiting Cincinnati Bengals.
‘Officially done being a Chiefs fan this season!!’ tweeted Jason after watching Travis win his third AFC title game in four years.

Earlier, Jason announced he would wear a ‘Kansas City sweatshirt’ for ‘the next three hours.’
‘Then that’s it for the rest of the year,’ the laughing Jason told reporters. ‘Win or lose, I’m done being a Chiefs fan in three hours.’
Cleveland natives who went on to star at the University of Cincinnati, Travis and Jason both rank among the best at their respective positions, and each have already won a Super Bowl: The older brother in 2018 and the younger sibling in 2020.
When asked about seeing her sons playing each other in the Super Bowl, their mother Donna recently told the Washington Post she would ‘root for the offense.’
Jason Kelce gave himself three hours on Sunday to root for his brother, Travis, and the Chiefs

The Kelce brothers are close off the field, and even launched a podcast together last year.
‘We are two brothers from Cleveland Heights who, as kids, had a dream of turning pro, and now we’re here to give our thoughts from inside the game,’ read a statement about the show, titled: ‘New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce.’
‘We’ve been waiting for the right moment to do this show, and with 12 Pro Bowls and 2 rings between us, we have a few things to say about the league, the new talent on the field, the upcoming season, and our lives off the field. There will be a few notable names to join us on episodes, but for the most part, this will be a raw dialogue between two brothers who had the chance to live out their childhood football dreams together.’
