“I want the Eagles to win, but I also want Travis Kelce to win. I just want to see a good football game,” he added at that time.

Jason Kelce ended his message with appreciation for both teams and the sport itself.
“Man, I love this sport, the people that play it, and the fans that enjoy it. Nothing else like it,” he wrote.
As the Eagles celebrate their Super Bowl victory, Jason Kelce remains proud of both his former team and his brother, understanding the bittersweet nature of the game.
