While appearing on the finale episode of Jason Kelce’s show They Call It Late Night on Saturday, Feb. 1, Travis, 35, revealed he still supports his brother’s former team the Eagles although he's set to go against them at the Super Bowl.
“I’m a Jason Kelce fanatic, dude. I love that guy man. I still got all of the gangrene from your guys’ Super Bowls and your run in Philly,” the Kansas City Chiefs player said via video link. “I still got some Philly pride, man. I’m wishing the best for those guys, but … you know, it’s … go Birds."
“There’s absolutely no chance you mean that,” Jason, 37, responded speaking from the studio.
The retired NFL star mentioned on the show that the Chiefs are going for a "Three-peat” win at this year’s Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 9, after the team advanced to the final game for the third consecutive year in the annual competition.
When asked how the team is different from the last two times they appeared at the Super Bowl, Travis replied, “This team still feels hungry, it feels new, almost.”
“We got a lot of new players, we got a lot of different faces from the previous two Super Bowl runs. And it's really a different identity on the offensive side for sure,” he continued. “...I think it's just a new, like, mindset on the offensive side … it's a new journey.”

Speaking on how different the Eagles are this time around, Travis joked, “They’ve really beefed up up front, " playfully referring to Jason's departure from the team.
"It was like they kinda went down from the tackles, to the guards to the center the last time I saw them, but now it's like, man, straight across the board, they’re pretty big and beefy,” he added.
