The height of sibling rivalry, if you ask me! On Sunday, February 12, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles go head-to-head in Super Bowl LVII, and the Kelce household may struggle to decide which team to support. As far as we know, this will be the first time two siblings will ever compete for opposing sides in a Super Bowl.
Tight end Travis Kelce, 33, and starting center Jason Kelce, 35, are brothers in the National Football League. Donna Kelce, the brothers’ mother, made headlines for attending a game in both Tampa Bay and Kansas City on the same day, just one example of how Ed and Donna Kelce have been juggling competitions all season.
Donna tweeted, “#HeightsHighandUCBearcatSuperBowl” after learning that both of her sons, Travis and Jason, are in the super bowl. Travis attended Cleveland Heights High School and Jason attended the University of Cincinnati. Donna spoke out about her sons’ rivalry in an interview with Fox 8, Cleveland’s local news station.

“It’s your hopes and dreams that come true, but it’s your biggest fears,” she admitted. “Someone goes home a loser, and neither of them loses very well.”

Even outside of Kelce’s siblings, this year’s Super Bowl is packed with firsts. In addition, this will be the first Super Bowl in which both starting quarterbacks are people of color. Patrick Mahomes will lead the Chiefs, while Jalen Hurts will lead the Eagles. A win over the Eagles would make Mahomes the first black quarterback to win multiple Super Bowls.
If the Eagles beat the Chiefs, Hurts would join Patrick Mahomes, Doug Williams and Russell Wilson as the only black quarterbacks to win a Super Bowl. Twitter is buzzing about the historic QB showdown. Former NFL quarterback Warren Moonnow anchored in Canton, tweeted,
“I am so proud to see Jalen and Patrick as the first 2 African American QBs to face each other in the Super Bowl! We have come a long way.”
The first brothers to play in the Super Bowl will do so in 2023. You can view more articles about Travis and Jason (Personal Life) at the following links:
On Twitter, Magic Johnson also mentioned both quarterbacks’ eligibility for NFL MVP honors.
“What a historic moment, this will be the first time two black starting quarterbacks have faced each other in the Super Bowl, and they are both leading candidates for NFL MVP! I can’t wait to watch!”
