Jason Kelce just lost the Super Bowl to brother Travis in a historic sibling rivalry. The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 at State Farm Arena on Sunday night. However, Jason still won the hearts of many, including Chiefs fans. And they showed their love.
The Chiefs Kingdom love Travis Kelce. And they just welcomed their brother into the inner circle after donating more than $100,000 to Jason’s charity. And fans from all across applauded the Kansas City fans with some even drawing comparisons with a rowdier Philly audience.

The Eagles All-Pro center received the Missouri love after the Super Bowl LVII loss. Back in October of last year, Travis’ older brother decided to give back some of the big-brotherly love to Philly. He started the non-profit ‘(Be)Philly Foundation’ to support children and educate students in Philadelphia. And Jason put up a $100,000 goal.
Up until ten days ago, the foundation had collected less than $10,000 in donations. However, that number has quickly risen to cross the desired goal amount. And the Kelces have the Chiefs Kingdom to thank for that. Also, fans donated $14.90 popularly to honor Jason and Travis’ on-field numbers (6(.)2 & 8(.)7).
Chiefs fans, let’s celebrate this win and thank our strongest connection to the Eagles via the Kelce bros. Jason launched his charity in Oct. 2022 with a goal of $100,000. Currently, it’s $9,961.20. Let’s do this #ChiefsKingdom

However, some fans drew comparisons to the usually angry Philly crowd who made a few headlines in Phoenix after the loss.
Jason and Travis Kelce had an emotional Super Bowl
Despite losing, the Kelces still won. And Jason finds himself in an unusual situation. The Super Bowl LII champion broke down in tears when he saw his mother Donna Kelce on the field during the Kansas City celebrations post-Kelce Bowl. However, even during the toughest moments, Jason chose to be the bigger man as he told his mother to “go celebrate with Trav.” Even Patrick Mahomes shares a close relationship with Jason owing to the middleman, Travis.

The NFL world knows how tight Jason and Travis are. Also, the brothers have united fan bases with their highly popular ‘New Heights’ podcast, which they host weekly on major streaming platforms. And after watching the emotional scenes in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday night, fans couldn’t hold on to their $14.90.

However, the Eagles and Chiefs are both potentially building dynasties in each conference. And if Jason doesn’t hang up the cleats anytime soon, a rematch of the historic Kelce Bowl is not off the table.
