One of the biggest subplots of Super Bowl LVII is Jason and Travis Kelce becoming the first brothers to play against each other in a Super Bowl. Their mom, Donna Kelce, threw her support behind both the Eagles and Chiefs in an unorthodox way.

She wore a pair of shoes — one with the Eagles logo and another with the Chiefs logo — as she found a way to back both of her sons.
Jason Kelce, the Eagles starting center, was drafted in the sixth round (191st overall) in 2011. He's been named to six Pro Bowls and five All-Pro teams and won Super Bowl in 2018.
Travis Kelce is the Chiefs starting tight end and was drafted in the third round (63rd overall) in 2013. He has eight Pro Bowl appearances and has been named to four All-Pro teams.
Both were named All-Pros this season.
The Kelce brothers are among the best at their positions and both will be instrumental in Sunday's game.
After the Eagles and Chiefs clinched their tickets to the Super Bowl, a petition surfaced for their mom to be on the field for the pregame coin toss.
She shot down that request, saying, "There are so many legends and people that have their blood, sweat and tears on that field and for a mom that's never played football, I don't think that's the right place for me."

She won't be involved in that, but where her allegiance lies between her sons is much more of a toss-up.
