Jason, 36, said his little brother is “probably beating himself up pretty good” after the Chiefs lost to the Eagles during the Monday Night Football rematch of the 2023 Super Bowl,USA Todayreported.

“Whenever, after the game, one of the guys is not going to want to talk much,” Jason said. “I think, if he’s anything like me, in some ways you’re happy for your brother. Knowing how the game ended for him, he’s probably beating himself up pretty good right now.”

Additionally, Jason also told theKansas City Starthat he didn’t have a chance to properly speak with the Kansas City tight end after the game. “I really didn’t say anything to him,” Jason added. “I knew he was frustrated, especially down the stretch… I didn’t really know what to say.”

“I’ve got to be better,” Travis said, per theKansas City Star. “I’m just not playing up to the level I have in the past…Turnovers and penalties on our half. It’s nothing that they did.”

While the brothers may not have had a heart-to-heart after their face off on the field, they stillshared a hugafter the game ended — and Travis even managed to crack a joke about losing.

In a video shared on theNFL’s official X account, Travis can be heard telling his brother to think of the win as a belated birthday present (Jason turned 36 on Nov. 5).

“That was a late birthday present for you,” the tight end said. “Love you, big guy. Get home safe.”

After the game, Jason added to theKansas City Star, “Happy belated birthday. He didn’t really get me a gift. So, I guess [the victory] counts."

As to whether or not things will be awkward on Wednesday’s episode of the brothers' podcast,New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, Jason is sure his brother will be professional. After all, Jason had to sit down with Travis just a few days after the Chiefs defeated the Eagles at the 2023 Super Bowl.

According to theKansas City Star, Jason said that while his brother is “not going to be happy, I bet,” he’ll “know what to say” if they do a segment about the game.
