Tight end Travis has had a shocking 2024-25 season so far, with all of his stats down from previous years.
He was spotted visibly miserable on the sidelines during the Kansas City Chiefs 22-17 win at the Atlanta Falcons.
And his usual bubbly behaviour has been lower than normal, while seeing less of the ball during this campaign.
The 34-year-old has just eight catches through the first three games, and just 69 total yards.
There has even been talk of him being benched by Chiefs head coach Andy Reid.
And it all got too much for Jason on the latest episode of their New Heights podcast.
He could be seen in near tears, choking up as he talked off Travis turning his form around.
“It’s going to go your way if you keep being the guy you’ve always been,” said Jason.
“There ain’t nobody, that I’ve ever played sports with, nobody I’ve ever been on a team with, that has loved being out there with Trav more.
“I know, it’s frustrating for me to have to watch and listen to.

“I can’t f***ing wait for it to turn.
Travis was moved by his brother’s touching words, and thanked him for his support over the years.
“I appreciate it brother,” he added.
“If it doesn’t, as long as we’re winning football games, we good to go 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦.”
The Chiefs are 3-0 for 2024-25, but Kelce’s dreadful form is one of their key issues.
But Reid has made clear his plans to try and get his Hall of Fame-bound tight end more involved.
“I know people are saying that he’s old or whatever, that he has distractions, and all this,” said Reid.
“The defenses don’t think that.
“We have another receiver opposite him that has a lot of yards and catches.
“That’s how this thing goes. Trav is fine. He just keeps being Trav.
“He works his tail off and he hasn’t lost a step. He’s not distracted.
“That’s not the case. They are making sure he’s taken care of.”
