As far as NFL moms go, Donna Kelce is a special one. She's been an enthusiastic supporter of her All-Pro sons Travis and Jason throughout their outstanding careers, often going above and beyond to be present for both of them.

Kelce made headlines last January when she showed the ultimate dedication to her sons, attending both sons' playoff games in different cities on the same day.

She's also gone viral for her custom jersey that blends Travis' Chiefs jersey and Jason's Eagles jersey. On Twitter, Kelce's feed is littered with tweets and retweets in support of Pro-Bowl campaigns for Chiefs and Eagles players.

With Travis and Jason both playing in conference championship games on the same day for the first time, the world is wondering what Donna's next move will be.

Here's what you need to know about where Donna will be watching Sunday's games.

Will Donna Kelce attend both games?

Donna Kelce said during an interview Cleveland's local Fox affiliate that she and her husband, Ed, will be at Lincoln Financial Field to watch the Eagles host the 49ers on Sunday.

Donna said she knew she wouldn't be able to get to both of her sons' games last weekend or this weekend, since they're back-to-back, so she attended the Chiefs' divisional round matchup with the Jaguars in Kansas City with plans to head to Philadelphia as long as the Eagles advanced past the Giants.

As long as one of the Chiefs or Eagles wins on Sunday, Kelce will know exactly where she's headed in two weeks. There's a great chance at least one of her sons will be playing in Super Bowl 57 in Arizona, and there's even a chance Travis and Jason will face each other for the Lombardi Trophy.

Kelce was in attendance in Minneapolis when Jason won Super Bowl 52 with the Eagles, and she was at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami when Travis and the Chiefs won Super Bowl 54.

Unless both the Bengals and 49ers come out of Sunday as winners, we should see Donna and Ed in Glendale, Ariz. for another Super Bowl.

How Donna Kelce attended two games in one day

Kelce set out to achieve the ultimate football mom accomplishment in the wild-card round of last season's playoffs when she made plans to attend two games in two different cities on the same day.

While Kelce told Kansas City's local NBC affiliate that she was "a little depressed" when the schedule first came out, she found a direct flight from Tampa to Kansas City to make the feat possible.

Jason played at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa at 1 p.m. ET on the Sunday of wild-card weekend with Donna in attendance. Kelce unfortunately watched the Eagles lose to the Buccaneers, but she was excited to be in the building.

She went to the airport as soon as the game ended but ran into complications. The flight experienced a bit of a delay, and with Arrowhead Stadium so far removed from the airport in Kansas City, she wasn't able to get to the venue until the game was well underway.

Still, she was able to see Travis and the Chiefs finish off a blowout win over the Steelers, and she got to celebrate with her son when the game ended. 

The NFL posted regular updates of Kelce's journey on Twitter, and she even chimed in on Twitter to explain why she was so determined to complete the journey. 

"It was an adventure for me to see if I could do it commercial and that it could work!" Kelce told a user who questioned why the league wasn't flying her to Kansas City privately. 

Sunday will be a bit easier on Kelce, who won't have to travel anywhere close to the 1,200 miles she traveled last year, but she's undoubtedly hoping she will have to take a cross-country flight to Arizona in two weeks to see both of her sons play for a championship.
