Jason Kelce decided not to go shirtless this week — at least for now.
The Philadelphia Eagles center not only pulled out his “Big Yeti” T-shirt again to cheer on his brother Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday — he also added an extra layer of clothing over that T-shirt.
In a follow-up to his viral shirtless celebration last week, Jason, 36, attended the AFC Championship game, where the Chiefs took on the Baltimore Ravens.
This time, Jason wore a Chiefs-colored floral button-up over a “Big Yeti” shirt and a Chiefs beanie — a stark contrast to his bare-chested look at the Chiefs-Bills game on Jan. 21 — as seen in an Instagram photo she posted Patrick Mahomes’ half-sister Mia Bliss and another from Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas.
Jason cheered alongside his wife Kylie Kelce, PEOPLE confirmed, and parents Ed and Donna Kelce.

“Big Yeti” is a longtime nickname Travis earned in college while playing for the University of Cincinnati.
On the brothers’ joint podcast New heightsthey explained that Travis got the nickname after playing basketball games without a jersey.
“I had a big beard, I had long hair, I had chest hair, back hair, arm hair, leg hair,” Travis said in that podcast episode from 2022. “I was just a big old Yeti, man. All my friends on the court called me ‘The Big Yeti’ — especially ’cause I was a low position player, so I was just down there giving work, sharing work in the post.
In an interview with Good morning America this week, Jason’s wife Kylie, 31, revealed that her husband’s “top priority” was left unfulfilled at last weekend’s game, causing him to take his shirt off.
The mother of three said Jason “wanted to have the full Bills experience” as he tailgated before kickoff, describing football fans in Buffalo as “known for their tailgating skills.”
“He was desperate to get through the table,” Kylie said GMA. “That was on his list for the day. Top priority of the day: inspect the table. He didn’t get a chance to do that.”
Then Jason said to his wife, “I’m going to take off my shirt and jump out.”

As seen in the TikTok video, Jason helped cheer up Rochester third-grader Ella Piazza and set her up so Swift could read her sign.

“I wanted to take everything off and be out there with the fans,” Jason said. “I don’t know if I’m wrong in my head, but I feel like taking the shirt off is a Buffalo Bills thing, right?”
Travis said it was “a moment I’ll never forget” — even though he didn’t realize it until after the game.
“Dude, that picture is… I mean, everybody’s saying put that thing in the Louvre. Honestly, I might get someone to fucking take that portrait,” he joked, referring to the viral content that inspired the shirtless moment and calls from fans who said the photo should hang in a famous art museum in Paris. “That is epic.”
