After the Eagles lost in a 38-35 thriller, Jason of the Eagles embraced his brother Travis on the field.
Jason Kelce’s full quote on the emotions of losing to his brother Travis’ team:
“I don’t know, maybe it hasn’t hit me yet. I was real emotional when I saw my Mom and Dad. Trav — I was not too emotional, obviously. ‘Fuck you, congratulations.’ Nah, I think it’s awesome.

The duo are the first brothers to ever compete against each other in a Super Bowl. Jason and Travis’ relationship as brothers was a significant storyline in the weeks heading into the game.
“This is bragging rights for Thanksgiving,’’ Donna Kelce, the mother of Travis and Jason, said. “This is for all the marbles.’’

The Kelce brothers had a strong bond growing up. Travis reportedly got in trouble while at the University of Cincinnati and was suspended from the football team for violating team rules. Jason helped steer his brother back on track.
“I got my scholarship taken, too. I was actually staying with my brother,” Travis Kelce said, according to CBS Sports. “I was in his room, his house. Kind of like two brothers growing up living in the same room. In terms of rent, I wasn’t paying it. In terms of food, he was helping me with that.”
