Travis Kelce loves Vikings fans: 'They're not pricks'

They beat out the Steelers with 60.6% of the vote.

Do the Vikings have the best NFL team name?

Viewers of Travis and Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast think so.

The Kelce brothers did a best NFL team name bracket in which they posted polls on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, to see who their audience thought boasted the best name in the league. 

It came down to two finalists — the Vikings and Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Vikings won the final with 60.6% of the 36,919 votes.

“Just another beat for the U.S. steel market,” Jason said on the podcast.

Travis said Vikings is a great name and gave a shoutout to the Skol chant, although he mispronounced the Scandinavian greeting. Jason’s frustration with the Vikings winning the bracket also gave Travis a chuckle.

“We’re going to honor Vikings that have nothing to do with U.S. history or the freaking good, hard-working people of this (expletive) country,” Jason said.

The brothers could, however, agree that the Vikings and their fans are pretty electric and that U.S. Bank Stadium is an enjoyable place to play.

“You play in Minnesota, that’s a fun place to play in, man,” Travis said. “That’s a beautiful stadium, their crowd gets (expletive) into it and they’re not pricks, they’re not (expletive), they just (expletive) love some good football, baby.”
