You have probably heard by now that brothers Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce will be on opposing sidelines in Super Bowl 57 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona in what is believed to be the first Super Bowl with brothers facing off against each other.
A recent petition online wants to honor one of the people that has made it possible: Donna Kelce, the mother of the Kelce brothers.
The petition, on change.org, calls for the NFL to allow her to do the coin toss before the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Philadelphia Eagles game.

Amber Smith, a Chiefs fan who started the petition, wrote: “As We all Know Travis and Jason Kelce will go head to head on Superbowl Sunday!!! This is a Petition to the NFL to allow Mrs Kelce to do the Honorary Coin Toss!!! What a great way to show the Super Proud mama some Amazing Appreciation and Love while giving her a once in a lifetime opportunity!!”
As of Thursday morning, the petition was quickly approaching 20,000 signatures.
Jason Kelce is a center for the Eagles, while Travis Kelce is a tight end for the Chiefs.

Both already have Super Bowl rings, with Jason winning the NFL title in 2018 in Philadelphia and Travis winning it with the Chiefs in 2020.
One of the brothers will be coming home with another ring in 2023.
“My mom can’t lose. I’ll just leave it at that,” Travis Kelce recently said.
“It’s going to be an amazing feeling playing against him. Obviously, I respect everybody over there in the Eagles organization. You won’t see me talking too much trash because of how much respect and how much I love my brother, but it’s definitely going to be an emotional game, that’s for sure.”

The NFL has already announced that former Arizona State and Arizona Cardinals player Pat Tillman will be honored before Super Bowl 57 in Arizona on Feb. 12 with the league selecting four Pat Tillman Foundation Tillman Scholars to serve as honorary coin toss captains.
Could Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce’s mother be the one doing the coin toss?
