Travis and Jason Kelce are not too comfortable with their brotherly competition being the center of attention when their teams play against each other.
With 34-year-old Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs set to play Jason, 36, and the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday, the brothers expressed the frustrations that come with the game on their New Heights podcast.
'I feel bad because it gets played into a lot about us and not so much our teammates who are also playing the game,' Jason shared on New Heights, his podcast.
'I think that's why from the outside perspective, I wish — it always feels weird when that is the main part of the headline because there are so many other guys out there with us who are also playing.'
Monday's game is a rematch of the 2023 Super Bowl which the Chiefs won 38-35. While the game featured the Kelces, it became memorable for the quarterback showdown between Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts.

However, Travis does not want to look at the upcoming game as a rematch, either.
'I really don't think about it as a Super Bowl rematch,' Travis said. 'I think of this as the Kansas City Chiefs vs the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023. Both teams are different than they were last year, no matter how similar they are, it's never the same.
'I think about it like — this doesn't have much bearing from what happened a year ago. Well, not even a year ago I guess at this point.'
Travis also complemented his older brother and the Eagles' talented roster.
'I just love competing against the best, man, and Big Play Slay, Byard,' Travis said. 'You got some dogs, outside of just the front line.'
'Hopefully we can beat the Chiefs for the first time in my entire career,' Jason joked in response.
There will also be plenty of attention on what is going on in the stands at Arrowhead Stadium on Monday night.
Taylor Swift's parents are expected to be in attendance for the game, where they will meet Travis's mom and dad for the first time.

Travis was at one of Swift's Buenos Aires tour dates last Saturday alongside Scott who, ironically, is an Eagles fan.
It is not known yet if Taylor herself will be there, though.
She has three dates in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil this weekend, ending Sunday night - but it's feasible she could fly back for the game.
