Travis misses Jason in the NFL ❤️
Two years ago, Travis and Jason Kelce stared each other down in the Super Bowl when K.C. and Philly faced off in the Big Game for the first time. Jason retired after the 2023 season, but his brother still showed him a lot of love Monday.

'It hurts me' 😢
The shocking NBA trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers and Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks was a hot topic even at Super Bowl Opening Night. Patrick Mahomes - a longtime Mavs fan - lamented that Doncic isn't with the team anymore.

Hurts keeps it standard 😂
Jalen Hurts was asked why the Eagles' nearly unstoppable play is called a "tush push." However, the Philadelphia passer didn't have an answer - he still calls it "the quarterback sneak."
