When we last saw Jason Kelce, he was appearing on his New Heights podcast alongside his brother Travis Kelce. During their conversation, Jason emotionally addressed the reports of his retirement following the Philadelphia Eagles’ loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Wild Card Round.
Despite the Eagles being eliminated from the playoffs, it has been revealed that Jason will be in Buffalo, alongside the Kelce family (and even Taylor Swift), supporting and cheering on his younger brother.
Throughout the year, much has been said about the television cameras frequently capturing Taylor Swift’s reactions during games. Some argue that these reaction shots take away from the actual game.
However, when Travis Kelce caught a wide-open touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes in the second quarter, it was inevitable that the cameras would turn towards the suites. Little did anyone expect the extraordinary scene that unfolded.
Jason Kelce, shirtless and wearing a Chiefs toboggan, was captured by CBS’s cameras as he enthusiastically downed beers and unleashed a thunderous roar akin to that of a grizzly bear.

Not only that, but videos from Orchard Park showcased Kelce’s incredible act of jumping out of the suite to join the enthusiastic Bills Mafia in the stands. Despite wearing a Chiefs hat and supporting his brother’s team, it’s hard not to appreciate Jason Kelce. Earlier in the day, he was also seen soaking up the vibrant atmosphere at the Bills Mafia tailgate scenes.
Jim Nantz, in the CBS broadcast booth, hailed it as the “shot of the year,” and we couldn’t agree more.
If anyone dares to argue that featuring Jason Kelce is distracting fans from the game, like they do with Taylor Swift, they are in for a surprise. If Kelce brings this level of enthusiasm to a television role next year, he has the potential to become the most captivating analyst ever.
