Jason Kelce Fulfils Buffalo Bills’ Wish as Travis Kelce Backs Retired Brother’s Flaming Table Declaration

Talk of retirement may have been premature for Jason Kelce. The recently retired All-Pro center has the NFL world buzzing again with a video teasing a stunt that would make even the rowdiest Buffalo Bills fans raise their eyebrows. In a trailer for his upcoming “New Heights” podcast episode with brother Travis, Kelce is seen taking his fandom to fiery new heights.

After hanging up his cleats following an illustrious career with the Philadelphia Eagles, Kelce declared his embrace of the unabashed Bills Mafia culture. He had been saddened at missing out on the famous table-smashing tradition during the Chiefs-Bills playoff game. But this new video suggests retirement hasn’t stopped Kelce from spectacularly checking that raucous box.

Jason Kelce goes through with the Bills’ Mafia promise!

In the Instagram video teaser, the former Eagles center is seen taking the metaphorical “leap” into retirement in signature zany style – quite literally jumping through a flaming table set up just for him. “Jason’s retirement is off to a hot start…literally,” reads the caption, confirming he has finally checked off the bucket list item he infamously missed out on at the Bills-Chiefs playoff game.

“If the Bills win this, I swear on Buffalo Bill’s legendary reputation I will jump through a flaming table,” Kelce had declared ahead of that divisional round matchup, endearing himself to the rowdy Buffalo fanbase. Though the Bills fell short, Kelce doubled down on his word, providing top-tier entertainment value in the process.

The recent video shows him fully embracing the taboo table-smashing tradition, complete with Zippo lighter fluid and a folding table from his Amazon shopping cart. His affinity for Bill’s Mafia culture traces back even further.

Kelce launched charity initiatives raising over $135,000 for a children’s hospital in Buffalo through merchandise partnerships. He has formed a genuine connection to the region through both his antics and philanthropic efforts. This latest stunt only solidifies Kelce as an honorary member of one of the NFL’s most notorious fanbases.

While the video depicts the six-time All-Pro accomplishing a raucous personal goal off the field, it also raises questions about whether this retirement is truly “for life.” Yet, the anticipated news brought loads of emotions to the NFL world, especially Jason’s younger brother, the Chiefs TE Travis Kelce.

Travis Kelce’s tearful tribute to retiring brother Jason

The Super Bowl spotlight was bittersweet for Travis Kelce, who battled “immense heartbreak” for his brother Jason and the defeated Eagles. But the Chiefs star has since paid profound tribute to his sibling’s legendary career. First were the raw, emotional quotes honoring Jason’s consistent excellence, “The amount of pride I had that my brother climbed the mountaintop once again,” Travis said through tears.

Now, Travis has found another poignant way to salute the retirement – wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with an iconic image of Jason in Eagles uniform, arm raised in triumph. The powerful visual, complemented by the two standing side-by-side, exemplifies their unbreakable fraternal bond.

The “Pay Homage” limited edition also allows fans to join in honoring Jason’s legacy while supporting his (Be)Philly foundation benefitting Philadelphia schoolchildren. With gestures like these, the Kelce brothers’ uplifting dynamic transcends the NFL rivalry.
