Jason Kelce breaks down in tears to Travis amid criticism over his split loyalties in Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl

After days of criticism over his split loyalties heading into Super Bowl LIX, Jason Kelce finally broke down on this week’s episode of New Heights.

Initially Jason was consoling his brother Travis, whose Kansas City Chiefs fell 40-22 at the New Orleans Superdome on Sunday night. But while revealing his own discomfort in watching the Eagles’ win, the retired Philadelphia center was overcome with emotion.

‘Part of me is very happy and proud they won this game,’ Jason told Travis.

‘But that doesn’t make you less of a brother,’ Travis interrupted. ‘That doesn’t make you less of a brother.’

Jason then raised his quivering voice above his brother’s.

‘That does not take precedence over rooting for you,’ Jason said, explaining why he wanted Travis to win Sunday’s game. ‘And that’s why this game sucked. It was very, very hard to watch.

‘As much as I love the Eagles as much as love the city of Philadelphia, there is not a f***ing ounce of me,’ a tearful Jason said before stopping himself and pivoting. ‘I tried to correlate that I was rooting for both sides the whole time and I was going to be happy and sad, regardless. No matter who won, it was gonna be happy and sad, regardless. And trying to communicate why I might be rooting for the Eagles…’

The frustrated Jason stopped himself again, admitting: ‘I don’t even want to do this.’

Neither Jason nor Travis revealed any of the elder brother’s antagonists by name. However, Jason was the target of significant online criticism from both Eagles and Chiefs fans who alternately questioned his loyalty to Philadelphia and Travis, respectively.

Ultimately Travis refused to let his brother beat himself up.

‘F***’em,’ Travis said of Jason’s critics. ‘You don’t owe any of these d***heads the acknowledgement. You don’t, Jason. Everyone that knows you knows your intentions.’

Travis continued, saying the critics were ‘just trying to get a rise out of somebody else.’
