Losing is never easy. But tasting defeat in front of millions, in the biggest game of the season, is something no one would want to experience. Unfortunately, the Super Bowl game ends with a winner and a loser. And, no one wants to be in the shoes of the Philadelphia Eagles at present. After coming tantalizingly close to taking the trophy, a narrow 3-point lead gave the Kansas City Chiefs the edge they needed. However, with the latest update, it seems the loosing Kelce brother is not taking things rightly.

For the Kelce brothers, facing each other in the Super Bowl was a massive accomplishment all by itself. Going head to head, they took sibling rivalry to a different level altogether. But the confetti and champagne could be enjoyed by only one. Jason Kelce had to watch his younger brother hold the coveted trophy. While there’s not even the slightest hint of bad blood between the two, taking his statements into consideration, the older Kelce will take a while to move on from this crushing loss.
