Jason Kelce says the game was 'odd for me to watch'
Jason Kelce congratulated his former team and friends, writing, "Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles, my former teammates, and friends on being SB LIX Champions!!" in a long post on X.
"There were a lot of emotions last night," he said in an attempt to collect his thoughts in the post.
"That game was odd for me to watch if I’m being completely honest," Jason admitted.
Jason acknowledged the game was going to be a mix of emotions, before and after the game, adding, "I now know what my parents had to deal with two years ago."
"On one hand, I wanted what is best for my brother, and to see his success. And on the other hand, there are so many people, teammates, and coaches, in the Philadelphia Eagles organization that I care deeply about. Many of whom I owe my own success to throughout my career," Jason wrote.
Jason Kelce says Travis Kelce does not want his pity
Jason Kelce expressed his love for his brother Travis Kelce while reflecting on his struggle in processing the feelings of his loss.
"As for my brother, there isn’t a person I love or care about more. It has been tough to process these feelings, of course I feel for him and am always rooting for him, but I know he does not need, nor want my pity," Jason shared on X.
Jason said Travis "has amassed greatness few on this planet could ever dream of" including his team, adding, "they should feel pride in their accomplishments this season and in the past."
Jason said Chiefs camp is "still thinking of last night and the shortcomings in the last game, but in time that will fade, and the greatness they have exhibited as a group will remain as one of the most dominant eras of football ever."
Jason Kelce expresses continued support for the Philadelphia Eagles
Jason Kelce concluded his post by expressing his continued support for the Eagles. "To all the haters out there, remember what my man Jay Ajayi said, 'F*** Em' Go Birds," Jason concluded.
Previously, Jason admitted to having mixed emotions before the Super Bowl. He told Travis on their 'New Heights' podcast, "Obviously, you’re my brother. I’ll always root for my brother."
"That’s the reality of it. Even though I’m decked out in Eagles gear [at the moment], I’m always going to root for Travis," Jason said before the game.
He also reflected on his deep connection with the Eagles, stating, "No matter what on game day, I’m going to be happy for one of those sides and I’m going to be sad for the other side."
"I would be lying if I said I don’t want the Eagles to win. You know what I mean? I want them to, but I also want Travis Kelce to win," Jason said in January 2025.
He also joked about what losing teams experience after the Super Bowl.
"They already have the parties set up in advance, so you still have the party. It’s just the saddest party you’ve ever been to," he said.
"Picture a birthday party combined with a funeral, and that’s what a Super Bowl losing party feels like," Jason shared on his podcast.
