Kylie Kelce, wife of former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce, has ignited a firestorm with explicit comments against the Dallas Cowboys, urging fans to support the Kansas City Chiefs in their Thanksgiving showdown due to family connections and bitter NFL rivalries.
Kylie made her blunt remarks on the November 25 episode of her podcast ‘Not Gonna Lie,’ where she didn’t hold back in expressing her disdain for the Cowboys. She stated, ‘Don’t root for the Cowboys and do root for the Chiefs. Let’s go, Uncle Trav… I’m so sick of the idea that the Cowboys are America’s Team. So, they can kiss my ass and, you guessed it, get f***ed.’ This outburst reflects her unwavering loyalty to the Eagles and her frustration with Dallas’s longstanding ‘America’s Team’ branding.
Her anger was fueled by the Eagles’ recent collapse against the Cowboys, where Philadelphia blew a 21-0 lead to lose 24-21. That devastating defeat, combined with the historic rivalry between the two NFC East teams, has amplified her animosity. Kylie’s passion for the Eagles is well-documented, but this incident has pushed her to publicly rally against Dallas in a highly personal manner.
The family dynamics add a compelling layer to this story, as Kylie’s support for the Chiefs is tied to her brother-in-law, Travis Kelce, who is Kansas City’s star tight end. Her reference to ‘Uncle Trav’ underscores the close-knit relationship within the Kelce family, where football allegiances often intertwine. This personal stake makes the upcoming game more than just a typical NFL matchup for her.
The Thanksgiving game between the Cowboys and Chiefs is set to be a marquee event, broadcast on CBS with commentators Jim Nantz, Tony Romo, and Tracy Wolfson. It’s a rare encounter, as the teams have met only 12 times since 1970, with the Chiefs last visiting Dallas in 2017. The NFL’s scheduling highlights the game’s significance, drawing national attention during the holiday season.
Travis Kelce brings a strong track record against the Cowboys, with 12 receptions for 147 yards and a touchdown in previous meetings, plus a rare rushing touchdown. A standout performance could be crucial for the Chiefs, who are fighting to stay in the AFC playoff race after recent struggles. Kylie’s support aligns with Travis’s recent milestone of breaking the Chiefs’ all-time touchdown record, previously held by Priest Holmes, adding to the narrative of family pride and achievement.
Looking ahead, the Kelce household faces a hectic holiday weekend, with the Eagles scheduled to play the Chicago Bears the day after the Chiefs-Cowboys game. This back-to-back schedule ensures that football will dominate their Thanksgiving celebrations, reflecting the intense emotions and rivalries that define the NFL season. Kylie’s comments have set the stage for a dramatic week, blending personal loyalty with the high stakes of professional sports.
