Jason Kelce Hilariously Takes a Shot at the “NFL Script Writers” After Super Bowl Loss to Brother Travis Kelce

In poetic fashion, brother went against brother in an ultimate showdown. Historically, sibling rivalry has not always produced the best outcome. In the most biblical sense, when the first brothers went head-to-head, it resulted in cold-blooded murder. But at State Farm Stadium, millions worldwide watched misty-eyed as Jason and Travis Kelce embraced each other. Resentment was nowhere in sight.

While the Super Bowl game in itself is always highly anticipated, this year the feeling was notched a step higher. Two brothers, on opposing sides, were fighting for the ultimate prize. While the occurrence of such a circumstance is rare, the fact that the Kelce brothers are one of the most popular duos in the league made this faceoff all the more exciting. ‘The Kelce Bowl,’ did not disappoint fans. Unfortunately, the same couldn’t be said for one of the brothers. While Chiefs TE Travis Kelce swaggered around, trophy in hand, Jason Kelce and the Eagles hung their heads in disappointment. Despite tasting the most bitter of defeats, the older Kelce brother was able to find humor in the situation. Here’s a look at what happened.

Despite his crushing loss, Jason Kelce shared a few laughs

The Eagles came painfully close to taking home the Vince Lombardi Trophy. A three-point margin separated a jubilant Kansas City squad from a disheartened Philly bunch. In light of their loss, Jason Kelce’s appearance on his podcast alongside Travis was a testament to his diligence. The latest episode of the brothers’ podcast, ‘New Heights’, included big laughs and even bigger tears. But the older Kelce made the best out of the situation with one hilarious statement.

In the last few weeks, angry NFL fans spun theories about the game being rigged after a slew of controversial calls during games that supposedly favored certain teams. That led some to propose that games were ‘scripted’ in advance. This has now become a running joke within the league. In the opening statements of the podcast, while stating they had a lot to discuss in light of Super Bowl LVII, the Eagles center alluded to the rigging theory.

He said, “We’ve got one thing to talk about Trav [Travis Kelce], and that is the NFL script writers finally letting down the Philadelphia Eagles.” Quite obviously said in jest, the Kelces proceeded to discuss the game and their experience.

For the Kelce brothers, the Super Bowl became a family affair

Jason and Travis Kelce provided their parents with the biggest dilemma. Having to pick a favorite between two children is a tough choice. So, the proud parents cheered on both the Eagles and Chiefs. But there could only be one winner. In the end, both brothers received warm embraces and words of encouragement.

The Kelce Bowl was one for the history books. The game kept fans on the edge of their seats with its nail-biting finish. While the Eagles were truly disheartened to be denied the win after coming so close, this loss will serve as fuel in their quest for vengeance next season. Until then, the Kansas City Chiefs will bask in the glory of their hard-fought battle as they extended their dominance to once again lift this coveted trophy.
