Jason Kelce sends Eagles fans wild as he joins tailgate ahead of NFC championship against the Commanders
Jason Kelce did his best to whip up the Eagles crowd before Philadelphia’s NFC Championship game against the Commanders.
Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley and Co can secure another trip to the Super Bowl with victory at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday.
Fans have been gathering in the stadium parking lots ahead of kickoff and Eagles legend Kelce joined in the party.
The former center, who spent his entire career in Philadelphia and now works as an ESPN analyst, sent fans into a frenzy after turning up at the tailgate.
‘Oh my god, it’s him!’ many supporters shouted as they flocked to see the 37-year-old.
Kelce attempted to interview fans ahead of the game but his presence sparked chants from the crowd in Philadelphia.

‘E-A-G-L-E-S,’ they shouted, while visiting Commanders fans were taunted by the home crowd.
Kelce even needled one brave Washington supporter, who was then showered with chants of ‘a**hole’. One Eagles fan, who took pity on the visitor, could be heard saying ‘Oh, be nice!’
Kelce’s younger brother, Travis, is also eyeing a place in the Super Bowl. Later on Sunday, the Chiefs take on the Bills in the AFC Championship game.
The two Kelce siblings met for the Vince Lombardi Trophy in 2023, when the Chiefs beat the Eagles in the Super Bowl. This year, even without their legendary center, Nick Sirianni’s team is hoping to go one better.
