Lately, Jason Kelce has found himself immersed in conversations about the Super Bowl as both his former team, the Philadelphia Eagles, and his brother’s team, the Kansas City Chiefs, prepare to face off in the big game. As he reflects on his unique family dynamic, memories of his own Super Bowl LII experience flood back.
In a recent appearance on 94 WIP Sportsradio, the future Hall of Famer opened up about the emotional rollercoaster he experienced leading up to Super Bowl LII, where the Eagles triumphed over the New England Patriots. He shared how this monumental game was not just a career milestone but a culmination of years of hard work and perseverance.
There was a lot of emotions going up to the game itself. I mean, that was my first one… It’s so surreal realizing you’re about to play that game. It was a highly emotional time. It’s still emotional for me. I’m almost crying right now thinking about it… everything flashes before you, before the Super Bowl. You can’t help but think back. And you think about, well, how am I here? How am I fortunate enough and lucky enough to be here?

The former NFL center was filled with nostalgia as he described how overwhelming it felt to step onto the biggest stage in professional football. Now as he reflects on his legacy and prepares for Super Bow LIX, where his brother, Travis Kelce will compete with the Eagles, Jason’s emotional connection to his own Super Bowl victory remains strong.
Jason Kelce discusses his dual allegiance in upcoming Super Bowl
In February 2023, when Jason faced off against his brother Travis at the Super Bowl, his allegiance was towards Philly. But now as the two teams once again face off at the grand level, the ESPN analyst revealed where his loyalties lie.
“You’re my brother. I’ll always root for my brother. That’s the reality of it,” Jason told his brother on the New Heights podcast, wearing the Eagles cap and t-shirt. “Even though I’m decked out in Eagles gear, I’m always rooting for Travis.”
Just because he’s rooting for the Chiefs doesn’t mean he wishes for the Eagles’ downfall. Jason clarified that regardless of how the game unfolds, he will be happy because he supports both teams equally and does not want either to lose. However, the reality is that one team will inevitably face defeat, a thought he prefers not to dwell on.
