Jason Kelce said that he and his brother Travis' 'New Heights' podcast was behind commissioner Roger Goodell's latest NFL proposal.

Earlier this week, Goodell suggested that the NFL could soon adopt an 18-game regular season (up from 17), which would cause Super Bowl Sunday to be moved to Presidents' Day weekend, when US fans have Monday off.

And while the recently-retired Jason won't be playing through those changes himself, he believes he and Travis were ahead of the curve.

'The best part of this is that the Super Bowl's getting moved to President's Day,' Jason said of Goodell's idea. 'Which, we talked about it before. I think we actually made this happen. I don't think the NFL had this on their eyesight at all. 

'We talked about putting the Super Bowl on a three-day weekend way before this ever got released. So 'New Heights' - you can thank us for being able to celebrate Super Bowl weekend on a three-day weekend.'
