Travis and Jason Kelce shared a heartwarming moment after the older brother and the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night.
The Kelce brothers faced off again in the second leg of last season’s Super Bowl in Week 11, but this time it was the Eagles who came out on top, pulling off a 21-17 comeback win.
The win marks the first time Jason defeated his brother Travis in his NFL career, as the Chiefs defeated the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII in Arizona in February.
But there was no bad blood as the brothers hugged on the field after Monday Night Football action.
In a clip shared by the NFL, Travis was seen approaching his victorious brother before hugging him.

He then joked that the win was a belated birthday present for the center, who turned 36 on November 5, adding: “I love you, big guy.”
Both teams played a tough, tough game, with the Eagles taking the lead for the first time in the fourth quarter.
Philly trailed 17-7 at halftime, but two rushing touchdowns from Jalen Hurts ultimately helped them to a 9-1 record as the hosts fell short in the second half.
Hurts’ second score – which gave the Eagles a 21-17 lead with just 6:20 left – came on a 44-yard completion by DeVonta Smith, who gave the team the lead at the one-yard line.
Despite scoring a touchdown in the second quarter, it was a relatively quiet evening for Travis, whose girlfriend Taylor Swift was absent from her tour of South America.
He finished the game with seven catches for 44 yards and also fumbled the ball in the red zone in the fourth quarter as Kansas City tried to extend its lead to 17-14.

The Kelces’ mother, Donna, who stole the show leading up to last season’s big game, once again cheered on her two sons at Arrowhead Stadium.
She wore her usual mid-length shirt while serving soup at the tailgate before sheltering in a suite at Arrowhead on the wet Monday evening.
It would have been the first time she and her ex-husband and the Kelces’ father, Ed, met the parents of Travis’ girlfriend Swift, but Scott and Andrea Swift reportedly canceled their plans to attend the game.
Since the singer was unable to play the game due to her postponed Eras Tour show, her parents have reportedly decided that it “makes no sense” for her to meet the Kelces without her gift.
