Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs are heading to their third straight Super Bowl after only a two-game journey in the NFL playoffs.
After securing a bye in the wild-card round, the Chiefs made light work of C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans in the Divisional Round. Then, they took down Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship Game.
Now, Kelce and Kansas City will head to Super Bowl LIX to battle the Philadelphia Eagles, a rematch of the championship game from two seasons ago.
Travis Kelce's brother, Jason Kelce, was the starting center for Philly at that point before retiring in March 2024. But his younger brother got the last laugh, at least in the first Super Bowl.
Still, despite their impending battle, Travis Kelce may have a bit of a soft spot for the Eagles because of his older brother. Early Saturday morning, Travis joined Jason Kelse on his show "They Call It Late Night," which took place in front of a Philly crowd.
The Chiefs tight end shared his three-word message for Eagles fans that some Kansas City fans may not like.
"Go Birds, baby!" Travis Kelce said.
Travis Kelce, the three-time Super Bowl champion, went on to explain his reasoning for saying this, giving a heartfelt speech about his brother and his 13-year career with the Eagles.
"I'm a Jason Kelce fanatic, dude," Travis Kelce added. "I love that guy, man. I still got all the gang greens from your Super Bowls and your run in Philly. I still got some Philly pride man. I'm wishing the best for those guys. You know, it's uh... Go Birds."

Jason Kelce naturally called out his brother, saying there was "no chance" he meant that.
NFL had mixed reactions to Travis Kelce's message, taking to social media to leave their thoughts.
"If Kansas City lose this clip’s gonna come back when those viral moments," one fan said.
"This is just weird," wrote another.
"Travis Kelce is hyped about his Birds, love the team spirit," added a third.
"This has to be scripted," claimed a fourth.
Kelce and the Chiefs will take on the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX on Feb. 9, at 6:30 p.m. ET in New Orleans, Louisiana.
