Philadelphia Eagles star center Jason Kelce predictably traveled to Buffalo to watch his brother, Travis Kelce, perform for the Kansas City Chiefs in their Divisional Round matchup against the Buffalo Bills. However, Jason Kelce surprised many by spending time before the game at a “Bills Mafia” tailgate instead of a tailgate for Chiefs fans.
Bills fans are of course as passionate and rowdy as any fanbase in all of sports. Their efforts to clear the field of snow this week and for their Wild Card matchup are proof of exactly that.
This week, you would assume that Bills fans would label anyone with the Kelce nickname the enemy on Sunday. Instead, they welcomed Jason Kelce with open arms at their pregame tailgate, where Kelce was seen taking a shot out of a bowling ball which got a huge round of applause from fans in attendance.

Kelce is beloved by Eagles fans along with the vast majority of NFL fans in general for all he has done for the sport. And it sure seems like he has also gained the admiration of Bills fans who happened to see this gesture on social media.

This was certainly a cool gesture from Kelce to take part in the culture of Bills fans that has made that fanbase so popular.
However, when it came time for the game to start, Kelce was fully in support of his brother and the Chiefs. He was seen in the same suite as Taylor Swift wearing a Chiefs shirt while watching the pregame warmups for both teams.
