Jason Kelce answers whether he has FOMO ahead of the Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl
Jason Kelce’s beloved Philadelphia Eagles are headed into another Super Bowl matchup against his brother’s Kansas City Chiefs — but he doesn’t feel like he’s missing out.
Jason Kelce’s beloved Philadelphia Eagles are headed into another Super Bowl matchup against his brother’s Kansas City Chiefs — but he doesn’t feel like he’s missing out.
“I wouldn’t say I have FOMO (fear of missing out),” Kelce tells TODAY.com. “I mean, obviously, when you’re a former player, you think that there’s always a part of you that wants to be out on the field. You think that there’s always a part that’s going to want to play.”
He continues, “But the reality is, I’m very happy with the decision I made still. For me, I was done playing football for a number of reasons.”
When the former Eagles center announced he was retiring from the NFL in March 2024, Kelce says he “knew back then that this was something that could happen” — a missed opportunity to face his brother, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, again in football’s biggest game.
The Kelce brothers battled head-to-head — or helmet-to-helmet — in Super Bowl 57 in February 2023, which resulted in a nail-biting 38-35 win for the Chiefs. That was the first time in NFL history that two brothers played on opposing Super Bowl teams.
