The Kelce siblings are renowned in the NFL as one of the most well-known sets of brothers. They were a force in the league. While Jason Kelce hung up his boots in March 2024, Travis Kelce has been a stalwart for the Chiefs. However, the NFL legend Troy Aikman made an embarrassing mistake about them that just rubbed the Chiefdom the wrong way. It was unbelievable!
During the week 10 matchup against the Buccaneers, Troy Aikman and Joe Buck sat together, announcing the live action on the gridiron. Aikman called Travis ‘Jason Kelce‘. It obviously amused the fans. One fan pointed out the mistake and wrote on X, “Yeah, pretty sure that’s @tkelce, not @JasonKelce.”

There’s no plausible explanation for how he confused Travis Kelce with Jason Kelce. Both players were on different teams and had distinct roles, in addition to their physical contrasts. He might be thinking about both brothers during the play. They are inseparable and fans often see them together.
Both brothers host the New Heights podcast where they talk about everything. From gridiron to trips to each other’s families and relationships, the fans rejoice to watch them talk about it with brotherly love. That’s what makes them one of the best brothers in the football world. Aikman’s blunder certainly gave them a topic to discuss on the podcast.
As soon as those words came out of Aikman’s mouth, it astonished the fans. They started trolling him, as it was funny yet sarcastic at the same time.
