Jason Kelce's Playful Bench Press Defeat and Super Bowl Excitement
Jason Kelce, the retired Philadelphia Eagles center and current ESPN analyst, found himself in a lighthearted yet humbling moment during a tailgate event ahead of the NFC Championship game. Kelce, known for his strength and pivotal role in the Eagles’ “tush push” play, lost a bench press competition to a young Eagles fan named Xander. The 12-year-old managed to complete 12 reps, while Kelce maxed out at 11, sparking laughter and cheers from the crowd. Despite the playful defeat, Kelce embraced the moment, showcasing his enduring connection with Eagles fans.
Kelce’s weekend was packed with excitement as he balanced his media duties with supporting his former team and his brother, Travis Kelce, who was playing in the AFC Championship game with the Kansas City Chiefs. After participating in pre-game festivities and leading fans in the Eagles’ fight song, Kelce watched his former team dominate the Washington Commanders 55-23, securing their spot in Super Bowl LIX. Following the Eagles’ victory, Kelce quickly traveled to Kansas City to cheer on Travis and the Chiefs, who also advanced to the Super Bowl, setting up a potential Kelce brothers showdown.
Kelce’s post-game celebrations included praising Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who overcame a knee injury to lead the team with three rushing touchdowns. Kelce called a photo of Hurts smoking a cigar in the locker room “f—ing incredible,” highlighting the quarterback’s resilience and leadership. As the Eagles prepare to face the Chiefs in the Super Bowl, Kelce’s dual allegiances and infectious enthusiasm continue to endear him to fans across the NFL.
