The Philadelphia Eagles' Jason Kelce and his brother Travis of the Kansas City Chiefs are currently embroiled in a hotly contested match in the Super Bowl.

Travis scored the game-tying touchdown and the cameras happened to catch Jason on the sidelines, eating a snack.

The commentators couldn't resist the joke that was ready and waiting for them, saying:

"One brother scores, the other brother eats a snack."

NFL fans could not bear to hear the slight at Jason, who's become a fan favorite like his brother, and were quick to jump to his defense:

The Super Bowl is the biggest sporting event in America, so there's good reason to believe that the players involved have a stress level that was previously unknown.

People might deal with that stress in different ways, and it appears Jason Kelce might be having a snack to alleviate some stress.

The stress was likely increased when his brother scored and wiped out the Eagles' opening drive touchdown.

There have never been a pair of brothers on opposing teams in the Super Bowl, so Jason and Travis are under a very unique pressure.

What is the score between Jason Kelce's Eagles and Travis Kelce's Chiefs?

The Philadelphia Eagles, bouyed by Jason Kelce at center, drove down the field on the opening drive and scored with relative ease. The Chiefs then marched down and tied the game on Travis' reception.

The Eagles couldn't move the ball and punted as the Chiefs drove down again. They missed the field goal, however, after Harrison Butker kicked the ball off the upright.

The Eagles then took the ball and moved to midfield before Jalen Hurts launched a deep touchdown pass to A.J. Brown. That gave the Eagles a 14-7 Super Bowl lead at the time of writing.

So far, the offenses have had little trouble moving down the field and this figures to be a very high scoring battle that could be decided by the slimmest of margins.
