Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce revealed what he told his younger brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, after losing to him in Super Bowl 57.
Super Bowl 57 was dubbed the “Kelce Bowl” immediately after Conference Championship Weekend in the NFL season. Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs tight end, and Jason Kelce, Philadelphia Eagles center, were officially the first brothers to play against each other in Super Bowl history. At the end of Feb. 12, it was Travis and the Chiefs that were victorious, picking up the 38-35 win over Jason’s Eagles.
After the game, Jason and Travis embraced on the field as the red and gold confetti dropped inside State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. When speaking with the media, Jason was asked what he told Travis during their meeting after the game. The eldest Kelce said he told his younger brother “f*** you, congratulations.”

After the game, NFL’s social media team caught Jason hugging his mother, Donna, on the field as the Chiefs celebrated the Super Bowl win.
Travis made a statement early on, as he scored the game-tying touchdown on Kansas City’s opening drive of the game. While he didn’t reach the end zone again, he did make the most of his targets. Specifically, Travis caught all six of his targets from quarterback Patrick Mahomes for 81 yards.
As for Jason, he played a pivotal role for the Eagles alongside his fellow offensive linemen. That being, they were able to give quarterback Jalen Hurts all the time he needed to make plays. Not to mention, their ability to help Hurts convert first downs on their trademark quarterback sneak. Hurts completed 27-of-38 of his pass attempts for 304 yards and a touchdown, while also running for 70 yards and three touchdowns on 15 carries.
Travis was the winner of the “Kelce Bowl,” and Jason gave him his congratulations as they embraced on the field after the game.
