Travis Kelce will be playing in a conference championship game once again. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end was a crucial part of the back-to-back championships. Along with Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, he's looking to help the team become the first-ever to win the Super Bowl three straight times.

There's an interesting caveat to this story. Two seasons ago, the Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles, 38-35, and Kelce won his second ring. His older brother, Jason, was the starting center for the Eagles that day; he has since retired and become a media personality.

Jason is an Eagles fan favorite, and the team will also play in a conference championship game on Sunday. The older brother has media duties for ESPN before the first game, the NFC Championship, but he also wants to travel to watch Travis play in the AFC Championship hours later:

"This is something I'm still trying to figure out," he said on his show. "I'm working ESPN, I'll be at the tailgate for the Birds game, which I'm excited about. I'm really fired up to be there for that. But I'm kind of torn. I want to be there for the Eagles, but I also want to be there for my brother. I don't know how many more he has. We might be able to see both of us here again hopefully."

When brothers Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce met in Super Bowl LVII

The Eagles and the Chiefs played in one of the greatest games of all time. During the game, Donna Kelce, mother of Jason and Travis, wore a jersey divided in half representing both teams.

They are brothers and excellent football players. In 2022, they were both elected to the First-Team All-Pro, cementing their status as superstars at their positions. Travis has four First-Team All-Pro nods, while Jason ended his playing career in 2023 with six.

As expected, Jason had a great game, but it was Travis who celebrated in the end. He had six catches, 81 yards and a touchdown as his team won a second championship in five years.
