As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare to take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX on Feb.9, Jason Kelce has made it clear where his loyalties lie. In a teaser clip from their “New Heights” podcast, posted on Instagram, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce jokingly pointed out his brother’s choice of clothing. “We can’t tell who you are rooting for, Jason,” Travis Kelce said sarcastically. During the podcast, Jason Kelce was wearing an Eagles-branded green cap and sweater. “This is just what I wear around the house,” Jason Kelce responded. “I have a lot of Eagles gear.”
