Jason Kelce gave his brother Travis a much-needed reality check following his Super Bowl heartbreak.
The Philadelphia Eagles ended the Kansas City Chiefs’ bid for an unprecedented three straight Super Bowl victories with a 40-22 win in New Orleans. Travis’s pain was evident after the game at Caesars Superdome.
With emotions still raw, Jason delivered a pep talk to his younger brother on their New Heights podcast:
“Listen, it’s never been done before [winning three straight Super Bowls] for a reason—it’s incredibly hard.”
“It’s tough to keep a team together. You guys have played nearly 60 games over the last three years. I’m not trying to make excuses, but there’s a reason it’s never been done. I know you’re frustrated right now, but the reality is, what you guys have accomplished is still amazing.”
“I know this isn’t what you want to hear at the moment, and I understand how frustrating this loss is. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that you’ve made it to the AFC Championship seven times or whatever it is.”
“The journey and the run you guys have been on is remarkable. You and certain players have been at the heart of this the entire time. For many of your teammates, this was their third straight Super Bowl appearance. It’s one of the most incredible runs this game has ever seen, and your legacy is cemented in that. No one can take that away from you.”

Meanwhile, Travis expressed some regrets, admitting that he wished he had made better decisions to support quarterback Patrick Mahomes and boost team morale.
“I wish things had gone differently.
“I wish I had made better decisions early on to help Pat out and help the team find that momentum and confidence. But at the end of the day, I have to tip my hat to the Eagles.”
The big question remains: Were Travis Kelce’s four catches on Sunday the last of his career? At 35 years old, he faces a major decision—whether to continue playing or retire.

In the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl, Carter, 23, broke through the Chief’s defensive line and appeared to clash with Mahomes.
During the moment, there was no flag thrown onto the field and the Eagles recovered the ball after a fumble.
It was thought that a fine would be handed out to Carter but that has proven not to be the case.
A report by Tom Pelissero has revealed that Carter was not fined by the NFL.
However, it has been claimed that one of his team-mates was, in fact, punished for another incident in the sequence.
Milton Williams has been handed a $14,069 fine for dunking the ball over the crossbar.
Pelissero wrote: “The NFL didn’t fine Eagles DT Jalen Carter for his apparent hit to Patrick Mahomes’ helmet in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LIX.
“However, Milton Williams was fined $14,069 for dunking over the crossbar after the ensuing strip-sack.
Fox cameras showed the defensive tackle run off with the ball in celebration and dunk it over the field goal.”
This adds to the fine that was also handed to Eagles star Jalyx Hunt for Unsportsmanlike conduct
The NFL fined him $5,690 for a bow-and-arrow sack celebration even though no flag was thrown.
Carter made a name for himself at the Georgia Bulldogs and was a two-time College Football Playoff National Championship.
He was a doubt for the Super Bowl after suffering a major fitness scare just days before the match with illness.
He joined the Eagles back in the 2023 NFL Draft as the ninth overall pick.
He had an impressive first year as he was named in the PFWA All-Rookie Team.
