After watching the Tkachuk brothers drop the gloves at the 4 Nations Face-Off, Travis Kelce talked about how he'd love to get revenge on the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, which was held earlier this month in New Orleans.

Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Coach Reid were looking to win their third championship in a row but fell short against the Eagles.

Chiefs' tight end Travis Kelce and his brother Jason have a podcast together, and in every episode since he lost the Super Bowl, he hasn't been hiding his disappointment.

In the latest episode, they had Matthew and Brady Tkachuk as guests, and they talked about the 4 Nations Face-Off.

Kelce revealed that he has been pushing the NFL to allow fighting for years, hoping to get revenge on the Eagles.

Here's what he said on the matter:

"We've been arguing to get that rule set in the NFL for years. Could you imagine just once every game you just get a fking, you're allowed one fight. I told Jason, I was like, if we ever played the Eagles, I was f*ing coming out there, and I was gonna drop the gloves with him."

Later, the Tkachuk brothers talked about their side of the story:

"I think that, you know, USA, we, that team is such a proud group of Americans, and wanted to show how united we were and how proud we were to be Americans.

I mean, let's face it, the last bunch of years, you really haven't seen that from Americans in general, like to show off how proud they are to be a part of the United States.

I think our team did a great job of making a big impact on people from the whole tournament, but especially that game against Canada, going into a hostile environment and wanting to set the tone in a very tough place to play against a very great team.

And so I think that we knew it was gonna be an intense game. And me, Brady, and Millsy, we were talking before about it, about, you know, potentially, you know, if there were going to be just some scraps, doing it right away."
