Much like Joe Davis, who spent Sunday night fending off accusations of Dodgers bias while calling the NLCS opener for Fox, Jason Kelce, even from the opposite side of the Atlantic, couldn\u2019t escape charges that he was pulling for the Eagles.<\/p>\n
Kelce joined Dave Pasch<\/a> and Kurt Warner<\/a> on NFL Network\u2019s broadcast of the Jacksonville Jaguars\u2019 19-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, his first time calling a game for a franchise he anchored for 13 seasons. For a sizable share of the audience, the assignment was compromised before kickoff, and social media spent much of the morning branding the broadcast a three-hour Eagles infomercial.<\/p>\n Of course, it doesn\u2019t help that Kelce came into Sunday\u2019s broadcast having already referred to the Eagles as \u201cwe\u201d on national television less than two weeks earlier. During halftime of Eagles-Bears on Monday Night Countdown, Pat McAfee flagged Kelce\u2019s choice of pronoun, prompting a sheepish Kelce to apologize<\/a> to Bears fans on air. What started as a halftime joke quickly spiraled into a days-long saga. Ryan Clark rallied behind his former colleague on X, insisting Kelce had earned the right<\/a> to say \u201cwe,\u201d and McAfee fired back with a bizarre rant<\/a> on his eponymous show, telling anyone who took his jab seriously that they had no brain and that he hoped they would rot.<\/p>\n With Jacksonville next on the Eagles\u2019 schedule and Jaguars fans voicing their dread online, Kelce used the latest episode of New Heights to make a preemptive peace offering.<\/p>\n \u201cI want to assure Jags fans I\u2019ve seen a lot of the Jags accounts already saying that they\u2019re not looking forward to this,\u201d Kelce said. \u201cI will be doing my utmost to give you guys the credit you deserve. Jacksonville\u2019s playing as good as any team right now in the AFC. I really do believe that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The pledge only went so far, given there were stretches Sunday when Kelce seemed to be viewing the game through Kelly green-tinted glasses, including one instance in which he again referred to the Eagles as \u201cwe\u201d as Philadelphia handed the ball back to Jacksonville.<\/p>\n 1.

Thanks ESPN. \u2014 Adam (@HypeIsHereMedia) October 11, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n And yet, for the second straight week, Kelce made a pretty convincing case that he belongs in a booth. One week after stealing the show in his debut<\/a> during Colts-Commanders, he was again at his best breaking down what was happening along the line of scrimmage. It wasn\u2019t flawless, though. Just as he did in his debut, Kelce tended to monopolize the conversation, and Kurt Warner was too often left waiting for an opening that never came.\u00a0And The Ringer\u2019s Bryan Curtis wrote that the end of the game, as Philadelphia let a late lead slip away, was a reminder that Kelce is still learning how to do this.<\/p>\n The end of the game was a reminder that Jason Kelce is still learning how to do this.<\/p>\n \u2014 Bryan Curtis (@bryancurtis) October 11, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n
