After trailing by double digits at halftime, star quarterback Patrick Mahomes led the Chiefs to a 38-35 comeback win.
It was a bittersweet moment for the Kelce brothers as they embraced on the field following the historical matchup.
During a postgame press conference, Travis described facing his brother Jason in the Super Bowl via Yahoo! Sports.
"โI feel like this was the happiest year of my life. To see my family be in all its glory and get all its flowers, my mom be the center of attention on the jumbotron before the game on the biggest stage, and being able to get closer with my brother throughout the season and meet him at the mountain top, itโs the best feeling in the world. I donโt know how many more I have left but Iโll cherish this one forever. You joke around all the time and say you want to beat your brother on the biggest stage but itโs a weird feeling. Thereโs nothing you can really say to a loved one in a situation like that. That team had great leadership, great coaches and it came down to the end. We have all the respect in the world for the Eagles. Thereโs nothing I can say to him other than I love him and he played a hell of a year.โ"
