Jason Kelce responds to Dallas family's demand over returning luchador mask from Chiefs' Super Bowl after-party

Jason Kelce was seen wearing a luchador mask at the Chiefs Super Bowl after-party. Little did fans know, the mask was an unplanned part of his outfit. A Dallas family says the mask Kelce wore at the party belonged to their eight-year-old son, Elijah Smith, and they'd love to get it back.

Elijah's parents stated that the mask is a good luck charm and would love to get it back. Elijah talked about the mask in an interview with NBC Dallas - Fort Worth:

"I gave him my mask and then he dropped it and then picked it back up. Then I got a picture with him wearing it and then I just hung out next to them for five to ten minutes, they were dancing and everything."

His dad, Thad, asked Kelce to return the mask and apologized he is not a Philadelphia Eagles fan.

"The only thing is, Jason if you're listening, we just need the mask back before the season starts. Because it's a lucky mask, and so the Chiefs need the luck. I'm sorry we're not Eagles fans."

Several videos are making their rounds on social media, showing the Eagles star partying in the mask while celebrating his brother Travis Kelce's Super Bowl victory.

Jason Kelce talked about how he discovered the mask on the floor at the after-party and picked it up on a recent episode of the New Heights podcast:

"There's something about finding that luchador mask that really just transformed the night. It really did. It was insane."

The Smiths say their son wore it at last year's Super Bowl after-party. That's when Chiefs defensive back Trent McDuffie autographed it.
