Philadelphia Eagles beat Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl rematch
Jason Kelce‘s Philadelphia Eagles recorded a quick victory against brother Travis Kelce‘s Kansas City Chiefs.
The teams faced off at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on Monday, November 20, for the first time since the Chiefs’ victory over the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII in February. After a close game, Philadelphia ultimately took the win 21 to 17, marking the first time Jason, 36, defeated Travis, 34, since joining their respective teams.
Going into the game, both the Chiefs and Eagles were at the top of their divisions. The Chiefs took an early lead Justin Watson scored first for the team. Eagle star D’Andre Swift tied the game as he ran for 33 yards, including a 4-yard touchdown rush.
Travis – who is a tight end for the Chiefs – put his team ahead again when he caught a short pass from the quarterback Patrick Mahomes, giving their team a 10-point lead before halftime. However, a new lease on life Jalen hurts returned to the field in the third quarter for a rushing touchdown, giving his team only a three-point lead.
Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce’s most supportive quotes about each other
Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce have an enviable sibling bond, full of support, laughter and of course, football. While the brothers have found success in the NFL, they have shared glimpses of their relationship off the field. Their family even served as the inspiration for Travis’ Saturday Night Live monologue, which he hosted for the first time […]
In the fourth quarter, Hurts threw the football DeVonta Smith which led to the Eagles scoring another touchdown to put the Eagles on top. Despite the Chiefs offense trying to make another play, the Eagles’ defense kept the 28-year-old Mahomes and his team from scoring again, along with several dropped passes.
Monday’s game was a rematch of Super Bowl LVII, the last time the two teams last faced each other. The Chiefs defeated the Eagles 38-35 in February.
Before the game, Travis, 34, and Jason, 36 – who is a center for the Eagles – discussed on their ‘New Heights’ podcast how the Eagles have never beaten the Chiefs since the brothers – who were the first siblings to faced each other in the Super Bowl – joined their respective teams.
“I really don’t look at it as a Super Bowl rematch,” Travis said of the November showdown. “I see this as the Kansas City Chiefs versus the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023. Both teams are different from last year, no matter how similar they are, it’s never the same. I think about it: this doesn’t have much to do with what happened a year ago. Well, less than a year ago at this point, I think.”
Although he is constantly lost every time they face each other, Jason noted that the duo “really loved each other” playing against each other and having their loved ones come together for the big event.
“I think there is a lot of awareness within both organizations,” Jason explains. “There are a lot of friends and family who get excited and can see a game where we are both playing. So that all means a lot more to us and we can enjoy that all week long.”
