The Kelce family is becoming something of a star. As the Kansas City Chiefs clinched their sixth straight AFC Conference championship berth with a stellar display on both offensive and defensive ends, the camera found its way to the Chiefs suite more than once, where the Kelce clan and Taylor Swift were in full party mode.

As the Chiefs scored touchdowns, the Highmark Stadium hushed, but the Kelce family brought lively vibes. Travis Kelce’s entire crew, with brother Jason, wife Kylie, mom Donna, dad Ed, and even girlfriend Taylor Swift, filled the VIP stands. Elder brother Jason stole the spotlight more than once, as he celebrated shirtless in the cold Buffalo winds. He even leaped into the crowds from his VIP suite, becoming an instant spectacle.
However, Bills fans felt a bit left out, seeing Jason Kelce hogging all the limelight. They pointed out that he wasn’t the only supportive brother in the crowd. Dallas Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs was there too, cheering for his brother Stefon Diggs. Some pointed out the broadcasters focused solely on the Kelce family and ignored Trevon Diggs.
NFL Writer Brandon Loree reported,
Jason Kelce isn’t the only brother who came to support his family in tonight’s game. #Cowboys Trevon Diggs is there to support his brother on the Buffalo Bills side in Stefon Diggs.
Another example of Football and Family coming together

A Buffalo Bills fan said,
Fans enjoyed the initial spectacle, but tired of it quickly as the repetitive camera focus on Jason Kelce became tiresome for some. As his celebration trended on social media, fans couldn’t help but urge broadcasters and social media pages to shift the spotlight back to the game.
Travis Kelce not only made his family proud but also gave them a blast by making 5 receptions for 75 yards and scoring two touchdowns. The highlight came in the second quarter when he caught a pass from QB Patrick Mahomes, securing the team’s first touchdown.
Amidst all the side stories, the Kansas City Chiefs swiftly responded to every Bills touchdown. The Chiefs’ defense shone by preventing any points in the last quarter. This marked the third time Patrick Mahomes outshined Josh Allen in the playoffs. Moving forward the Chiefs will now face the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Conference Championship Game. However, Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs ended up taking the brunt of the Bills’ loss.
Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs Miss Opportunities in Tough Loss to Chiefs
After the game ended, criticism arose for the Bills QB Josh Allen and WR Stefon Diggs. NFL Analyst Skip Bayless expressed concern noting that out of the 8 passes thrown by Allen to Diggs, only three were caught for 21 yards. Bayless also highlighted the missed opportunity when Diggs failed to catch a crucial deep pass in the fourth quarter that could have changed the course of the game for the Bills.
Bottom line for Buffalo: Their two best players, Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs, had chances to make huge plays on the final drive. They both failed to make them. Diggs needed to catch that deep ball. Allen had Shakir in the end zone plus could’ve picked up 7 or 8 yds before the FG.

Something is wrong when Josh Allen throws 8 balls to Stefon Diggs and he catches only 3 for 21. And obviously Diggs failed to catch the bomb that would’ve changed the game. Just not on same page.

With just 2 minutes remaining in the game, the Bills faced a second-and-9 at the Chiefs’ 26-yard line. The drive had its moments of drama. A fumble recovery by Spencer Brown came to the rescue after Chris Jones caused a fumble during Josh Allen’s scramble on third down. However, the drive ended on a disappointing note as Josh Allen’s deep pass to Stefon Diggs was dropped, and the game slipped away from their hand.
