Jason Kelce breaks his silence on Super Bowl and ‘mixed emotions’ watching his brother lose

Jason Kelce breaks his silence on Super Bowl and ‘mixed emotions’ watching his brother lose

Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce, the older brother of Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, has spoken out after his former team dominated the two-time defending NFL champions at Super Bowl 2025.

The Eagles led by as many as 34 and defeated the Chiefs 40-22 on Sunday night in New Orleans for the team’s second Super Bowl victory, which coincides with Travis’ second championship loss. 

The Kansas City-Philadelphia showdown was a rematch of the 2023 Super Bowl, where the brothers faced off before Taylor Swift entered their lives, and the Chiefs were victorious. 

Jason, now an ESPN analyst, was at the game in New Orleans to watch his brother’s excitement turn into disappointment and failure. 

‘Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles, my former teammates, and friends on being SB LIX Champions!!,’ Kelce said on X. ‘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.’

‘That game was odd for me to watch if I’m being completely honest. I knew it was going to be mixed emotions before, during, and after, and I now know what my parents had to deal with two years ago. On one hand, I wanted what is best for my brother, and to see his success. And on the other hand, there are so many people, teammates, and coaches, in the Philadelphia Eagles organization that I care deeply about, Many of whom I owe my own success to throughout my career.’

‘I am very proud for Jalen Hurts, Nick Sirianni, and this entire team. They have persevered greatly, answered their critics amazingly, and proved themselves to be undoubtedly the best team this season. It is extremely difficult for a team in the NFL to have enough talent, coaching, fortune, and character to win a Super Bowl.’

‘The character and swagger of this Eagles team was something truly special to behold. A true representation of the toughness and grit that makes Philadelphia what it is. Well done fellas, well f***ing done.’

‘As for my brother, There isn’t a person I love or care about more. It has been tough to process these feelings, of course I feel for him and am always rooting for him, but I know he does not need, nor want my pity. He has amᴀssed greatness few on this planet could ever dream of, as has his team, and they should feel pride in their accomplishments this season and in the past.’

‘I know right now they are still thinking of last night and the shortcomings in the last game, But in time that will fade, and the greatness they have exhibited as a group will remain as one of the most dominant eras of football ever. Man I love this sport, the people that play it, and the fans that enjoy it. Nothing else like it.’

‘Congratulations Philadelphia, I look forward to the speeches and celebrations that will happen in the coming days. I mean who doesn’t love a parade! In the words of Chase Utley “World F***ing Champs”, and to all the haters out there, remember what my man Jay Ajayi said “F*** Em’ Go Birds.’

Much speculation will now take place on whether a Kelce brother will retire from the NFL for the second straight offseason, as Travis’ relationship with Swift progresses and his mainstream appeal has never been higher. 

Travis has stayed coy on his future and been silent in the days following the defeat to the Eagles.
