Super Bowl LVII already knows the two teams that will fight for the title on February 12 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale (Arizona). The Kansas City Chiefs were proclaimed champions of the American conference last Sunday by beating the Cincinnati Bengals (23-20) and will be the rivals of the Philadelphia Eagles.
With 326 yards and two touchdown passes, Patrick Mahomes grabbed all the headlines by leading the success of his franchise, which for the third time in the last four years is planted in the NFL final, an unprecedented final in the history of the american football league However, it will not be the only unprecedented event. For the first time in 56 years there will be two brothers on the pitch, one on each team. It had never happened before.
The Kelce brothers already know what it is to conquer a Super Bowl ring. Jason, 35, got it in 2018 when he shared a team with Tom Brady at the New England Patriots. A season later, Travis, two years younger than his brother, was savoring glory in achieving it with the Chiefs.
Both will thus fight to conquer their second NFL ring in a final that will divide the heart of Donna, their mother. During her years in the NFL she has traveled following her sons with the numbers 67 and 87 on the Eagles and Chiefs jerseys in order to see as many games as possible.
Born in Cleveland Heights (Ohio), they began to excel at the University of Cincinnati until they were chosen in the draft by their current franchises, where they have developed their entire professional career. Jason was selected in the sixth round of 2011. Since then he has been selected five times in the league's ideal team and has participated in six Pro Bowls, the NFL All Stars.
Travis was drafted in the third round in 2013. He has been named to the All-Team four times and has made eight Pro Bowls. He is the great partner of Mahomes, one of the great connections this season in the championship. He is in the prime of his career as evidenced by his scoring record: 15 touchdowns.
The Kelce brothers are also known for sharing a weekly podcast called New Heighs. There they talk about the current situation of the NFL and share their experiences as elite athletes. It will be necessary to see if in the next chapters they explain what it means to see the faces with the most precious title in between.
As the only precedent in the field, two brothers had faced each other, but the duel took place on the benches; specifically in those of the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers. John Harbaugh defeated his brother Jim in the 2013 Super Bowl.
