Travis Kelce gave a nickname that could cost him next time he sees Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham. The Chiefs tight end dropped "Grandpa Graham" on his podcast on Thursday.
Kelce co-hosts "New Heights" with his brother, Jason, who anchored Philadelphia's attacking line for over a decade before retiring.
"We got a LeBron stat of the game, our guy at 37 years old and 255 days," Travis said (Timestamp: 22:22). "On top of those, 37-year-old Brandon Graham became the oldest player in Eagles history to record a sack in a game. Here we go. B.G., 'Grandpa Graham.' He's gonna f*cking hate that I said that."
Graham left the sport before this season but decided to return for another shot at a championship. He played only seven snaps against the Riders on Sunday, however, he dropped the quarterback twice while lining up at a different position.
Jason Kelce draws pointed comparison with 44-year-old Philip Rivers
Jason Kelce didn't miss his chance to add fuel in the fire. He spent many years sharing the same locker room with Brandon Graham in Philadelphia.
"'Grandpa Graham,' everybody's talking about old man (Philip) Rivers," Kelce said. "We got 'Grandpa Graham' on the Eagles."
Philip Rivers appeared for Indianapolis on Sunday at age 44. He became the older QB to play after the biggest gap between outings in league history.
Philadelphia's defense held Las Vegas to 75 total yards. Jalen Hurts talked regarding Graham after the win, saying to reporters that the veteran delivers more than speeches and energy. The quarterback called him a "hell of a player" who benefits from making impact plays while making an example for younger teammates.
The Eagles (9-5) are facing a critical final run before the playoffs start in January.
