Both Jason and Travis Kelce have had to play the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium this year and both Pro Bowl and Super Bowl-winning brothers seemed to come away from their games extremely impressed.
Speaking on their New Heights podcast this week, the Brothers Kelce were full of praise for what the Jets are up to these days, specifically head coach Robert Saleh, his defense, and the atmosphere created by Jets fans.
On October 1, Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs escaped New Jersey with a 23-20 win on Sunday Night Football, while Jason’s previously unbeaten Eagles were defeated by Gang Green on Sunday by a score of 20-14.
“Listen, they’re a good defense, I’m giving them their flowers. Defensive line is great. I mean, Quincy Williams, CJ Mosley, those guys are all over the field making plays. The back end, even without the two starting corners, they’re going to play zone, they’re going to mix it up and try and make it difficult,” the elder Kelce explained.
“They do a job of not leaving guys in difficult positions. Saleh really knows what he’s doing over there in New York and they had the better day. It is what it is… It’s just a team that played well against everybody they’ve played against,” he continued.

“The longer that game went and didn’t get out of hand… man, that place got rocking. Hats off to the Jets because that’s huge,” Travis said of the Chiefs’ Week 4 matchup at MetLife Stadium
After winning their last two games against the Eagles and Broncos, the Jets now head into their Week 7 bye week with a 3-3 record.
They’ll return to action on Sunday, October 29 for a “road game” against the New York Giants. As for the Kelce brothers, the Chiefs will be hosting the Los Angeles Chargers while the Eagles will host the Miami Dolphins this weekend.
