Jason Kelce takes shots with Bills Mafia, hypes up crowd ahead of Chiefs game

Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Jason Kelce was eliminated from the playoffs last week following the Eagles’ disappointing playoff loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But Kelce seems to be enjoying his offseason just fine, with him seen getting rowdy with Bills Mafia ahead of Buffalo’s playoff matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

Kelce is likely in attendance at Orchard Park to support his brother Travis, the Chiefs’ star tight end who ranks second all-time in NFL postseason history in receptions and receiving yards behind Jerry Rice.

But Jason Kelce looked more supportive of the Buffalo Bills ahead of Sunday night’s showdown, with him seen taking a celebratory drink out of an undisclosed, bowling ball-shaped apparatus during a Bills’ tailgate in an iconic moment that can be seen below.

There’s no doubt that the Kelce brothers are close, coming out to support each other at their respective games whenever they’ve had the chance throughout their careers and the duo hosting their own podcast ‘New Heights’. But Travis may have a word with his older brother following the game after he was seen having a good ole time behind enemy lines in a moment that will surely be discussed on their next episode of the show.

Philadelphia’s playoff loss also came with reports of Kelce’s potential retirement, with the decorated center recently completing the 13th season of his NFL career. He was drafted by the Eagles in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft, spending his entire career in Philadelphia where he earned seven Pro Bowl selections, six First-Team All-Pro selections, and helped lead the Eagles to a Super Bowl LII win.

Kelce addressed his retirement on a recent episode of the ‘New Heights’ podcast with his brother following Philadelphia’s shocking 32-9 loss to the Buccaneers in the NFC Wild Card after just making it to the Super Bowl the prior season.

“I didn’t announce what I was doing on purpose,” Kelce told his brother Travis. “Despite I guess what’s been leaked to the media. But you know, I think there’s a lot of people who can feel body language itself, you know, you I just don’t think you’re in a position after a game like that to really make that decision. I just don’t, there’s too much emotion in the moment. There’s too much going down at the moment to really fully grasp that decision.”

“I’m not trying to be dramatic and continue to draw this thing out. I’m really not. It’s just something that I think, you know, when it’s time to officially announce what’s happening in the future, it’ll be done in a way that’s definitive and it pays respect to a lot of people and individuals that have meant a lot to me.”
