Jason Kelce was spotted shirtless and roaring in the cold Buffalo air at a recent Chiefs-Bills playoff game. But it came as no surprise to his mum, Donna.
The Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman was cheering on brother Travis in his NFL Playoff game in the same executive suite as Taylor Swift. But Jason stole the show with his shirtless celebrations.
After the Eagles' season came to an end and with the prospect of retiring from the NFL, Jason made the most of the chance to enjoy a weekend off watching another team in action. And him deciding to do so without a shirt was something Donna was expecting.
She told People: "No, not at all [surprised he went shirtless]. No. He just saves it for special moments.

"A lot of people don't see it because he's all business nine times out of 10 when he is on the field. He's so focused with the game and he's so into it that people don't see that side of him.
"[He's] just as lighthearted and as fun and as in the moment as Travis is. It's just, he is more businesslike when it comes to football."
The family gathered to watch the Chiefs defeat the Bills 27-24, a rare occasion as they are usually spread across the country during the season.
"When we are all together, as we were in Buffalo, you get to laugh and have a good time and joke around and I just sit back and watch because it's so much fun to watch your kids interact," she said. "And I think that's true of any parent. It's just so much fun to watch the love between siblings and I think that's how they're relatable. It's just, it's a family."

Travis could be on his way to winning a third Super Bowl ring if they win.
Jason Kelce might find it easier to go without a shirt at the AFC Championship game, unlike in chilly Buffalo. Baltimore is expected to be warmer, with temperatures possibly above 45 degrees and maybe some light rain.
But the Chiefs have a tough challenge ahead. They need to figure out how to stop Lamar Jackson, the Ravens' quarterback who is expected to be this year's MVP. Jackson has been proving people wrong, leading his team to beat the Houston Texans last week and they are favourites to win the game to reach the Super Bowl.
