Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce will face off with his brother Travis, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, for the firt time in their pro careers today and their mom Donna is well prepared for the occasion.
She has a very unique football jersey for the special day. It's a blend of a red Chiefs jersey and a green Eagles jersey with Travis' No. 87 on the front and Jason's No. 62 on the back.
We wrote earlier in the week about the Kelce brothers' story of battling their entire lives in all endeavors. That will culminate today with their first time both appering in an NFL game.
"They're completely different," said Andy Reid, who has coached both. "[Travis is] a live wire. His brother is very stoic. Not that he doesn't have a sense of humor, but they're just completely different guys. But both very good, big hearts, love to play the game. Both are tremendous players."
Mama Kelce may be rooting for a tie but really she's just rooting for two healthy sons at the end of the day.
