After the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the San Francisco 49ers in their divisional championship game on Sunday, Jason said that while he was rooting for his brother, his time being a Chiefs fan this season came with an expiration date.“Yup, I have a Kansas City sweatshirt that I will wear for the next three hours and that’s it for the rest of the year,” he told reporters perUSA Today. “Win or lose,I am done being a Chiefs fan in three hours.”
When the Chiefs beat the Cincinnati Bengals later that day, Jasontweeted: “Officially done being a Chiefs fan this season!!”

While it’s a dream come true to make it to the Super Bowl for both boys — who have each won a ring before — it’s a bit more complicated for their parents.
“It’s your hopes and dreams coming true, but it’s your worst fears,” Donna told WJW. “You know, somebody’s gonna go home a loser, and neither one of them lose very well.”
Luckily, they won’t take the field at the same time. “Thank god they’re both on offense, probably rules out any fist fights,” added dad Ed.
