Travis Kelce, 33, has been a dominant force for the Chiefs, scoring 15 touchdowns in 17 playoff games. In the recent AFC Championship game against the Bengals, Kelce had 7 receptions for 78 yards and 1 touchdown, helping lead the Chiefs to a 23-20 victory. Now he is set to face his brother, Jason in the biggest game of the all becoming the first set of brothers to ever do so.
Jason Kelce, 35, is a seasoned veteran with six Pro Bowl selections and five first-team All-Pro honors to his name. The Eagles’ offensive line, anchored by Kelce, helped lead the team to a victory over the 49ers in the NFC Championship game.
The Kelce brothers have a shared passion for the sport and have a podcast together, “New Heights,” named after their hometown of Cleveland Heights, Ohio. It will be interesting to see if they record a special episode before the Super Bowl, as they discuss their unique journey to facing each other on football’s biggest stage.
