a proud mother
She may be very proud of her mother, Donna, who, as well as officially being the first to do so have two sons playing on the field in a duel for Vince Lombardi, who has gone viral on social media for wearing a rather distinctive jersey. Now it will be the first time in the postseason, but not the first time that Donna will have to see her two sons face off on the field.

She even took advantage of the context to tweet: “#HeightsHighandUCBearcatSuperBowl” a reference to attending both Cleveland Heights High School and the University of Cincinnati.
The NFL Story of Jason and Travis Kelce
The Eagles and Chiefs are far from one of the youngest franchises in this league, however, by the time Super Bowl LVII concludes, the history between the two teams will have featured the Kelce brothers a total of 30% of the time . More specifically, in 3 out of 10 games. What was the outcome of the first pair of head-to-head duels between Jason and Travis?
The first date was September 17, 2017, where the Chiefs finished first 20-27 in a game where Travis finished with 8 receptions for 103 yards and 1 TD. Four years later, on October 3, 2021, Kansas City won again by a score of 42-30, but with Travis only contributing 4 receptions for 23 yards.
Also, the story could include another duel, but when both teams met in September 2013, Travis was not involved in the 26-16 victory against the Eagles, recalls the specialized site first and ten.
Since both brothers played each other in the league, Jason couldn’t beat Travis and the Eagles were unable to beat the Chiefs. But on February 12, everything can change and a Super Bowl victory to lift Vince Lombardi’s title is worth much more than a couple of regular season victories. Although, if Kansas City wins again, then one could speak of a brutal Travis hegemony…
