Brothers fight.
Travis and Jason Kelce might be the most beloved pair of brothers in the NFL this side of the Watt family. But, as with all boys, they’ll be boys, too. Fights happen, punches are thrown, but at the end of it, brothers hug it out.
On Monday night’s “Manningcast” broadcast of the Bengals vs. Browns matchup, the brothers showed up dressed up as the Manning brothers for Halloween.

And while the brothers talked about the secret behind the success of their respective teams, Travis. when asked, explained the last time that the duo locked horns — and how it almost put their dad in the hospital.

I would say — Jason tells a great story of our last actual fist fight, where he punched me in the face after playing a game of basketball. I had finally got to the point where I was looking him eye-to-eye in high school. I picked him up and threw him onto the kitchen floor and knocked the stove off its hinges and everything. We got yelled at by mom and almost injured dad in the midst of it all. That’s what ended up breaking up the fight — we almost hurt my dad and sent him to the hospital. That was the end of us fighting.
All’s well that ends well: The Kelce brothers clearly overcame whatever beef they had in the moment and squashed it with a good ol’ sparring session. They both found their way to the NFL, too, so clearly they can get out their frustrations hitting other people instead of each other.
The Kelce brothers have only ever faced off against one another three times in their careers, and Travis’ Chiefs hold the edge over Jason’s Eagles 3-0 in those matchups.
If things keep going the way they are, the next time they meet could be in Super Bowl 57. The stakes will be a bit higher than a basketball game, though,
