The former NFL star brings laughter and style to MetLife Stadium while supporting his brother’s rival team.
Former NFL player Jason Kelce was the life of the party at the highly anticipated Buffalo Bills vs. New York Jets game, showcasing his unique style and sense of humor. The matchup on October 14th held significant implications for the AFC East standings, as both teams vied for a top spot. Before the game kicked off, Kelce took the opportunity to join Bills Mafia outside MetLife Stadium, donning a memorable Fred Flintstone costume.

As fans gathered, Kelce entertained the crowd by taking shots of Gatorade from a bowling bowl, embracing the jovial spirit of the Bills Mafia. Despite being a retired Super Bowl champion and the older brother of Travis Kelce-who plays for the rival Kansas City Chiefs-Jason made it clear he was rooting for the Bills. His quirky ensemble featured a blue suit paired with a patriotic striped tie, but it was his outrageous golden chicken wing necklace that truly stole the show.
Social media lit up with praise for Kelce’s outfit. One enthusiastic fan tweeted, “No one quite like @JasonKelce. LOVE this man. Love the suit look, Jason, too.” Erik Wood, a former Pro Bowl center for the Bills, also gave a shoutout to Kelce, calling him “a man of the people” for his down-to-earth demeanor and willingness to engage with fans.
Creating connections beyond competition
Kelce has been building bridges with Bills fans since last season’s AFC Divisional playoff game, where he famously celebrated his brother’s touchdown by ᵴtriƥping off his shirt and joining the revelry. Reflecting on that experience, he shared on the “New Heights” podcast, “I wanted to take my shirt off at the tailgate. When I entered the box, I realized I could jump out and be part of the Buffalo Bills pageantry. The energy was electric.”

His infectious enthusiasm and ability to connect with fans continue to resonate long after his playing days. As the Bills look to secure their spot at the top of the AFC East, Kelce’s antics remind everyone that sports are not just about competition but also about community and shared experiences.
As the game unfolded, it was clear that Jason Kelce’s spirit and humor would leave a lasting impression, winning over both Bills Mafia and football fans everywhere.
