Jason Kelce arrives in Buffalo to cheer on his brother Travis and the Chiefs against the Bills… and FINALLY meet Big Yeti’s girlfriend Taylor Swift
It’s the loving family nickname that tells the world he’s one of his brother’s biggest fans.
Seen in these exclusive photos obtained by DailyMail.com, Jason Kelce, 36, stepped off a private jet in Buffalo early Sunday afternoon wearing a bright yellow T-shirt with a cartoon figure of his little brother and the words: “Travis Kelce Big Yeti, ‘ prior to the AFC Divisional playoff against the Bills.
It’s hard to imagine a more important day for Kansas City or the Kelce family, aside from Super Bowl LVII, which Jason’s Eagles lost to Travis’ Chiefs.
The on-field meeting will decide whether the Chiefs advance to the AFC Championship in Baltimore next weekend or whether their season comes to an end on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift, 34, is expected to take another step closer to the Kelce clan in the VIP boxes when she meets her NFL stud’s big brother and wife Kylie Kelce for the first time today.

Jason, Kylie and family patriarch Ed – dressed in the bright red Chief’s starting jacket and a jersey with his youngest son’s number 87 – all trudged across the snowy airport to a waiting sprinter van as the countdown to the AFC Divisional match began in earnest.
Travis, 34, and the rest of his team landed in upstate New York on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. The tight end cut a striking figure in a mustard yellow suit, striped shirt, hat and sunglasses.
The daring look provoked a good-natured comment from Jason, who joked: “Looks like he’s auditioning for a new Wes Anderson movie.”
Perhaps it was no surprise that Travis looked particularly stone-faced yesterday.
Shortly before leaving Kansas City, he learned that the NYPD had arrested a suspected stalker who allegedly tried to enter Swift’s Tribeca apartment earlier in the day.

Jason obviously has the weekend off after the Eagles were eliminated from the postseason by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday. It has thrown Jason’s long-term football future into doubt, with reports on Tuesday morning that he told the Eagles dressing room he is retiring.
But since then, Jason has remained coy about what the future holds and Travis even suggested on Friday that his big brother could continue playing.
No timeline has been given as to when Jason expects to announce his football future.
The Kelce brothers have an extremely close relationship and Travis suggested that Jason could continue playing when he spoke at a Chiefs press conference before the Bills game.
“It turns out he was retired and he didn’t really say anything about that,” Travis Kelce said Friday. “I think everyone felt sorry for him at the end of that game, knowing that he’s thought about it a lot over the years.”
‘The (Amazon) documentary shows that. You don’t have to walk around and ask anyone,” Travis continued. “It was cool to see everyone this past week appreciating who he has been over the years.”
“I think the big boys still have some football left if he wants it,” Kelce concluded.
