In the recent NFL showdown between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs, brothers Jason and Travis Kelce faced off once again. This marked their fourth encounter since the 2023 Super Bowl, a game where the Chiefs triumphed. However, this time, the Eagles emerged victorious with a 21-17 win.
After the game, the brothers had a poignant on-field moment, similar to their emotional exchange after Super Bowl LVII earlier this year. Following that championship, where Travis secured his third win against Jason, the brothers shared a heartfelt hug and exchanged words of encouragement. Older brother Jason, 35, expressed his pride, saying, “Good job, Travis. Congratulations,” while Travis, 33, responded with love and appreciation.
The Monday night matchup was the fifth meeting between the Eagles and the Chiefs since both brothers joined their respective teams. Despite the competition, the Kelce brothers cherish the opportunity to play against each other. In a recent episode of their podcast, “New Heights,” when Jason asked Travis if he enjoys facing him on the field, Travis emphasized the joy it brings to their family and friends, stating, “It brings all of our family, all of our friends together to watch one game.”

Their history of matchups dates back to 2013, but the first encounter saw Travis sidelined due to injury. Subsequent faceoffs occurred in 2017 and 2021, with the most notable being the 2023 Super Bowl dubbed the “Kelce Bowl.”
While the on-field moments after the recent game were less emotional than the Super Bowl encounter, the mutual respect and love between the brothers were evident. Despite the competitive nature of the NFL, the Kelce brothers continue to appreciate the unique experience of sharing the field and creating lasting memories for their fans.
