Travis considered his older brother’s impact and significance on the eve of Super Bowl LVIII.
Travis Kelce’s brother Jason Kelce is partially to blame for him being “fired up” for the Super Bowl!
The tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs is appreciating his big brother’s support as he prepares for Sunday’s big game.
Travis, 34, told reporters in Las Vegas on Tuesday, “He fired me up after that AFC championship game, telling me to go and get it and that we’re the best in the game.” I just need his backing, that’s all. It all comes down to watching him at the game and his excitement.
Following the end of the Philadelphia Eagles’ playoffs campaign, Jason made sure to show up to Travis’ divisional playoff game in Buffalo and remove his shirt. A week later, the 36-year-old center for the Eagles was in the forefront of Baltimore’s AFC Championship game, cheering on the Chiefs.Christian McCaffrey said that during his Super Bowl run, his fiancée Olivia Culpo “sacrificed so much.”
This is all in contrast to the Kelce brothers’ joint Super Bowl experience from the previous year, when the Chiefs played Philly and the brothers made NFL history by playing against each other in the championship game.

“Yet competing against him and meeting him there was one of the most memorable experiences of my life, and I don’t think any moment will ever be able to match that feeling of dominating the world and facing off against my brother in that way,” he continued.Brock Purdy Gives “Mr. Irrelevant” an embrace.
