American football is the typical American family's favorite sport.

For some, though, what is happening on the field is a family affair as brothers forget about the time they spent together in the name of victory.

Mommy Donna Kelce had to be neutral on Week 11 of the current season - the one week she does not have to cheer for anyone.

That is because it is the week her sons play each other. The older Jason plays for the Philadephia Eagles, while Travis is with the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Eagles and the Chiefs met for the first time on Monday since their Super Bowl LVII encounter, in which the latter came out triumphant. The Eagles got back at them somehow by pulling a 17-21 win.

Mommy Donna is not the only one with this dilemma.

Here are the Top 3 most elite brothers in the NFL:

Special mentions: Stefon Diggs and Trevon Diggs, Ronde and Tiki Barber, J.J., Derek and T.J. Watt, and Bruce and Clay Matthews.

1. Eli and Peyton Manning

With four Super Bowl titles and three Super Bowl MVP awards to their names, the Manning brothers make the top of the list.

The older Peyton has the upper hand with his accolades over 17 years. He is a five-time NFL MVP and did that for two teams - the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos.

He is also a seven-time First Team member and was hailed Offensive Player of the Year twice.

Eli's resume is not that strong, but he got more than one Super Bowl MVP than his brother. He played his entire career with the New York Giants.

2. Jason and Travis Kelce

Travis is making the headlines these days because of his romance with pop star Taylor Swift. Jason is a media darling, too, after being named one of the Sexiest Man Alive in 2023

Don't be fooled by the media circus because those two are as elite as anybody in the league. As brothers, they are second on this list.

The older Jason is a force to be reckoned with, bulldozing opponents night in and night out. He helped the Eagles win the 2018 Super Bowl against favorites New England Patriots. Under his name are 5× First-team All-Pro and six Pro Bowl citations.

Travis is younger but has more to boast than his brother. He has two Super Bowls with the Chiefs and was named to the NFL 2010s Team of the Decade. He also holds the record for most seasons with 1,000+ receiving yards by a tight end at seven and consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons by a tight end (7).

3. Sterling and Shannon Sharpe

These two brothers' start to professional American football has a stark difference. Sterling was drafted seventh overall by the Green Bay Packers, while his young brother Shannon was selected 192nd overall in the 1990 draft.

The latter was the one who saw his career take off. In this item, only Shannon has a Super Bowl to boast.

Shannon Sharpe may be known right now for his fiery basketball commentaries, but he dominated the gridiron from 1990 to 2003. He boasts of three Super Bowls while he was with the Denver Broncos, four First-team All-Pro, and eight Pro Bowls.

Sterling's record is not that bad either. He has three First-Team All-Pro and five Pro Bowl selections. He was inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame.
