Travis Kelce and the Chiefs came out on top Sunday in their divisional round playoff win over the Bills, but the tight end’s older brother, Eagles center Jason Kelce, was the game’s true MVP.

While taking in Kansas City’s 27-24 victory, a shirtless Jason could be seen holding a young Bills fan outside of his Highmark Stadium suite so Travis’ girlfriend, pop superstar Taylor Swift, could get a glimpse of the supporter’s sign.

The Bills fan could also be seen waving to those inside the suite, where Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, was sitting.

The Super Bowl champion, 36, let loose with loved ones over the weekend following Philadelphia’s embarrassing playoff ouster last Monday.

The Eagles, who started the season 10-1, collapsed down the stretch and fell to the Buccaneers in the wild-card round, 32-9, in what many believed could be Jason’s final NFL game.

The longtime center addressed the retirement buzz on Wednesday’s installment of his “New Heights” podcast, which he co-hosts with Travis, 34.

“When it’s time to officially announce what’s happening in the future, it’ll be done in a way that’s definitive and pays respect to a lot of people and individuals that have meant a lot to me and what has led to the career I’ve had, and I don’t think it would be respectful or even accurate to be able to do that right after a game like that,” Jason said.

The Eagles veteran then elaborated on what he told the locker room amid previous reports suggesting he shared retirement intentions with his teammates.

“I did address the team and pretty much said the same thing I just said to you, which is I got belief in every single one of you guys, cherish the moments you have in this league, I think it’s kind of the way it went down,” Jason said.

Travis, whose Chiefs will now travel to Baltimore to face the Ravens in next Sunday’s AFC Championship game, told reporters Friday that Jason has “still got some football left if he wants it.”

Jason has spent his entire 13-season career in Philadelphia.

He and wife Kylie share three young daughters: Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 2, and 11-month-old Bennett.

 

 

Depressing Bar Scene Shows Sad Bills Fan Being Force-Fed Taylor Swift Music After Playoff Loss

Buffalo Bills fans found themselves unable to escape the presence of Taylor Swift. After their team’s defeat to Kansas City, with the pop star in attendance, videos emerged online showing disheartened Buffalo supporters subjected to her seemingly endless playlist.

It marked a fitting conclusion to yet another disheartening playoff campaign.

The Bills had concluded the regular season on a remarkable winning streak, securing victories in their last five games. This streak began with a triumph over the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.

This head-to-head victory granted Buffalo the advantage in terms of playoff seeding, forcing Kansas City to make the journey to Highmark Stadium for the Divisional Round.

As has become a recurring theme for several matchups this season, Taylor Swift made the trip to watch her beau, Travis Kelce, on the field. Throughout the broadcast, cameras frequently turned in her direction, while Jason Kelce played his part in facilitating interactions between Bills fans and the music superstar in the stands.

However, after the game, Swift was likely the last person Bills Mafia wanted to see (or hear!). When Tyler Bass’s game-tying field goal attempt missed wide right of the uprights, a familiar sense of disappointment washed over the stadium.

The Chiefs did little to alleviate this feeling, with Travis Kelce notably blowing kisses to the crowd from the sidelines.

Yet, the frustration wasn’t limited to those in attendance. Videos soon emerged on social media, showing Bills fans watching the game on television, with one video depicting a truly disheartening scene.

 

Putting Taylor Swift on repeat in a Bills bar is nasty work, and it certainly won’t help fans “Shake it off” from their memories.

With the loss, Kansas City ended Buffalo’s season for the third time in the last four years. This time, though, there’s a little extra salt being rubbed in the wound.

Jason Whitlock is not feeling confident for his Kansas City Chiefs ahead of Sunday’s showdown with Baltimore Ravens – despite their fantastic win over Buffalo Bills.

Travis Kelce scored two touchdowns on Sunday night as Patrick Mahomes and his team moved just one win away from the Super Bowl.

But standing between them is the impressive Baltimore Ravens and Chiefs fan Whitlock believes his team is going to be emphatically beaten.

Speaking on Monday night he said: ‘I’m a Chiefs fan, I want the Chiefs to win. I don’t think there is any chance in hell they beat Baltimore, in Baltimore, this weekend.

‘I think it’s a 14, 17 point game. I really do believe that. I think you can run on the Chiefs defense and I think Baltimore is going to run on them. I think it’s impossible, or very difficult, to run on the Baltimore defense.

‘We’re so devoted to the quarterback conversation that we don’t evaluate teams any more. Look, I could be proven wrong – Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, Steve Spagnuolo, it’s an unbelievable combination, got it.

Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs have it all to do against the Ravens, says Jason Whitlock

Whitlock says that Lamar Jackson’s Ravens team are one of the all-time NFL great sides

‘But I think we are looking at one of the great teams in NFL history in Baltimore. It has been a long time.

‘I think this is one of the great teams ever to be assembled. It is dominant and physical on both sides of the ball. I think the gap between Baltimore and everybody else is more pronounced than what we have seen in a long, long time in football.’

Lamar Jackson is the Ravens quarterback who will try to orchestrate the Chiefs downfall – and Chiefs coach Reid paid tribute to him on Monday as he begins to work out a way to stop him.

‘Lamar is special’ Reid said. ‘He’s fast and one of the faster guys on the field when it’s all said and done. And he’s shifty. This kid, he throws it well, he throws it on the move well, he runs the ball well.’

‘We just got to stay on top of that part of it throughout practice this week and then during the game.’

The Ravens host the Chiefs in the first game on Sunday, before the San Francisco 49ers then meet Detroit Lions.

On Monday afternoon, the Kansas City Chiefs received mixed news on star offensive lineman Joe Thuney. The three-time All-Pro underwent an MRI to determine the cause of the injury he suffered during the Chiefs’ win over the Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional Round.

Adam Schefter with ESPN reported that Thuney has a pec injury. He said pec injury is a terrible injury for an offensive lineman to have.

 

A few hours later, Ian Rapoport with the NFL Network announced Thuney suffered a pec strain. Rapoport presented the news as a positive development for the Chiefs, in contrast to Schefter’s earlier report on a pec injury having a major effect on offensive linemen.

The Chiefs are unsure if Thuney can play the Ravens. However, he hopes to return for the AFC Championship and/or Super Bowl.

 

The Chiefs need their offensive line to be healthy against the Ravens. The Chiefs appeared to struggle early in the Divisional Round with their play in the trenches. The Ravens will have a strong front seven for the Chiefs to contend with.

Their average margin of victory in the tournament was a staggering 43.8 points, and they defeated opponents with an unmatched combination of skill, teamwork, and sheer dominance.

 



The final game of the tournament took place on August 8, 1992, when the Dream Team faced Croatia in the gold medal match.

Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson, two of the most iconic players in NBA history, played crucial roles in leading the Dream Team to this historic victory.

The 1992 Dream Team is remembered not only for its on-court success but also for the impact it had on the global popularity of basketball.

Michael Jordan Retirement Age: How Old Was the NBA Legend During His Last Season?

Michael Jordan (Credits: X)

Michael Jordan debuted in the NBA in 1984, and had a 15-year-long playing career which involved three retirements. The 6x NBA Championship title winner played his last two seasons before his final retirement with the Washington Wizards. Michael Jordan announced his third and last retirement in 2003 at the age of 40.

Michael Jordan is arguably among the greatest players in the history of the NBA. From being physically beaten by his teammates in his rookie season to revolutionizing basketball worldwide, his journey has been a remarkable one. The Bulls star’s illustrious career also involved three retirements, and fans have been curious to know at what age Jordan played his last season.

Notably, Jordan debuted in the league in 1984 after being picked by the Chicago Bulls. He was a renowned player even before playing his first NBA game, as he had a remarkable college career. During his 15-year-long career, he broke records and made some unbreakable ones. Some of his accomplishments include winning the NBA Championship title six times, 2x Olympic Gold Medals, and much more.

Furthermore, Jordan retired from the league for the first time in 1993. This was shortly after winning his first three-peat ring with the Bulls. This came as a shock to everyone and fans started doubting if this retirement was a suspension from NBA Commissioner David Stern. However, Jordan cited that the reason behind this was that he lost the desire to play.

He was away from the court for 17 months during which he had a short-lived professional baseball career with the Chicago White Sox. In 1995, Jordan declared his return to the league with two words, “I’m Back.” He played for four more seasons and won a second three-peat Championship ring for the Bulls before announcing his second retirement.

Michael Jordan is the second-oldest player to score 50+ points in a game

Michael Jordan did come back to the NBA after his retirement in 1999. However, he did not represent the Bulls, instead, he signed a contract with the Washington Wizards. Jordan played for another two seasons (2001 to 2003) and only averaged 20.2 points. During this, he also served as the president of basketball operations for the team.

 

After being with the Wizards for two seasons, Jordan announced his third and final retirement in 2003 at the age of 40. He played his last game against the Philadelphia 76ers, and after the game, he said, “Now I guess it hits me that I’m not going to be in a uniform anymore — and that’s not a terrible feeling.” The Hall of Fame inductee continued to talk about how it is something that he has come to grips with.

“This is the final retirement.”, he declared. Interestingly, during his second-last season before retiring, Jordan made a remarkable record. He dropped 51 points in a winning game against the Charlotte Bobcats (now known as Charlotte Hornets). After this, Jordan earned the second spot on the list of the oldest players to score more than 50 points in a game.

 

This was an achievement on its own and further strengthened Jordan’s status as an iconic player. Furthermore, despite playing his last game decades ago, Jordan continues to remain in the headlines. Fans await to witness him be the best man in his son Marcus Jordan’s wedding with Larsa Pippen. Their wedding is the most-awaited one and gave MJ the last laugh as Scottie Pippen allegedly got shoved aside.
