Why Jason Kelce Was 'Ticked Off' With Mom Donna Last Football Season

Jason Kelce and his mother, Donna Kelce

With two grown sons in the NFL, Donna Kelce is one busy lady—but she's also the most dedicated and supportive mother possible to Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce. That doesn't mean she's perfect. In fact, Mama Kelce "ticked off" Jason last football season.

Although Donna goes out of her way to cheer for both sons equally, in a Jan. 7 interview with Entertainment Tonight, she admitted there was one time she ruffled some feathers.

"I know Jason was a little ticked off last year that I went to Travis' playoff game first," Mama Kelce told the publication. "But I knew who [Jason] was playing. They were going to win. And it was gonna be a little possible that it wouldn't go the right way with the Chiefs, but they both ended up winning the games that I was at, so it worked out."

If you ask us, however, Travis is the one who has a right to be upset.

In December, the Chiefs tight end asked his mother if her favorite child had changed since she last said it was Jason. "Not yet," Donna joked during a special holiday episode of the brothers' New Heights podcast.

"Ahh, the burn!" Travis replied while Jason basked in the glory of still being the favorite child.

"I love you both just the same," the doting mom assured.

Previously, Donna indicated Jason was her favorite because he provided her with grandchildren. The Eagles center shares three daughters, Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 2, and Bennett, 11 months, with his wife, Kylie Kelce.

Whether or not the favorite child tides change in the future, hopefully, the NFL playoffs schedule will be kind to Mama Kelce this year!
