Jason Kelce goes shirtless in belly bucking competition before Eagles game

NEWNow you can listen to Fox News articles!

Jason Kelsey demonstrated once again why he is a legend in Philadelphia before the Eagles' Black Friday game against the Chicago Bears.

EaglesThe legendary center was in the parking lot of Lincoln Financial Field Friday afternoon with fans participating in a belly-wrestling competition.

Pushing your belly out is similar to sumo wrestling, but arms are prohibited, and apparently shirts are too.

Kelce is no stranger to standing shirtless in tailgates before football games, and he was a man of the people when he took to the ring in a video posted on X by the “New Heights” podcast, which is hosted by Kelce and his brother Travis Kelce.

Wearing an Eagles helmet that did not fit his head, Kelsey easily defeated his opponent and began celebrating with several other shirtless competitors.

There was another video of Kelsey as a referee at a separate belly lifting competition, hyping up the competitors before calling it to begin. Since Kelsey will have a film crew next in line, this could pop up somewhere else in the future.

But when the real competition began at The Link on Friday night, it wasn't Eagles fans cheering at the end of the day.

Caleb Williams and the Bears won the deciding game on the road, silencing some doubters who questioned their 8-3 record compared to the Eagles' identical record in the Prime Video matchup.

Bears defeated the Eagles 24–15, thanks to touchdowns by both running backs D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai, while Chicago's defense gave Jalen Hurts and Philadelphia offense problems throughout the game. Monangai rushed for 130 yards on 22 carries, while Swift rushed for 125 yards on 18 touches, dismantling an Eagles defense that was one of the best in the NFL this season.

AJ Brown, who has been a polarizing figure all season due to his lack of targets, found the end zone twice for the Eagles. However, this was not enough for a return victory.

Williams also found tight end Cole Kmet for a 28-yard touchdown pass that opened the game and left fans, including Kelce, stunned by what happened in South Philadelphia.
