Being on opposing teams isn’t always easy, especially when Travis and Jason’s parents support both the Eagles and the Chiefs. Travis blames his past transgressions in college for costing him the opportunity to play professional football with his brother. On an episode of their “New Heights” podcast, the tight end told his brother, “I screwed up a few years of my life not being able to play on the field with you, and I always hated Philadelphia for not giving me that opportunity knowing that I had f***ed it up so many times.” Despite the fact that they ended up on opposing teams, Travis believes that everything happens for a reason.
“It was cool to break the barrier of two brothers going against each other, I don’t think the story would have been the same,” he said.
Tensions reached a boiling point in 2023, when the two faced off in the Super Bowl. While Donna did not reveal who she was rooting for, she did have a witty response when asked during an interview with Today. “I think Jason would say that I’m going to root for the family’s baby, Travis.” I keep telling him, ‘No, you’ve given me grandchildren,’ so we’ll leave it at that.” While the Chiefs won, Travis says it was bittersweet.”You joke around all the time and say you want to beat your brother on the biggest stage, but it’s a weird feeling,” he told the publication.
