Mother of Travis and Jason Kelce Attends Two Playoff Games on Same Day

It was an eventful Sunday for the mother of NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce.

Donna Kelce set out to go to both of her sons’ playoff games on Super Wild Card Weekend, starting with Philadelphia’s road contest against the Buccaneers. She then flew to Kansas City, where the Chiefs face the Steelers in the night game.

It was a rough start to the day for the Kelce family in Tampa. The Eagles trailed 17–0 at halftime, and the Buccaneers extended their lead to 31–0 midway through the third quarter. Philadelphia center Jason Kelce couldn’t help Jalen Hurts generate much offense, as Hurts entered the fourth quarter with 140 passing yards and two interceptions.

The second leg of the saga went much better, with the Chiefs handling the Steelers behind a monster game from Travis Kelce. Kelce hauled in a 48-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes just before halftime to give Kansas City a 21–7 lead at the break, eventually passing the 100-yard receiving mark for the seventh time in his playoff career.

While Donna and the rest of the Kelce family will undoubtedly be saddened by Jason’s postseason exit, at least her travel schedule for the rest of the playoffs will now be much, much simpler.
