The Philadelphia Eagles fans must be having a hard time accepting their beloved former center Jason Kelce flaunting the Pittsburgh Steelers’ black and gold colors. Jason is least bothered about the loyalty conflict that the fans could possibly be having. He is just having fun living “in the moment”.

Jason, now working for ESPN on Monday Night Countdown, made his way into Steelers Nation before the MNF against the New York Giants. He couldn’t hide his excitement, and took part in the fun activities.
When he returned to the Acrisure Stadium, the fellow cast members, including Ryan Clark, couldn’t help but wonder what the Philadelphians felt about it all.
Kelce had no qualms admitting he was a part of Pittsburgh Nation. The when in Rome, be a Roman, trope. He even carried the Terrible Towel, which exemplifies the spirit of the Steelers fans.
“I’m part of Pittsburgh Nation at the stadium right now,” replied Kelce. Terrible Towel- Is there a better, is there anything that symbolizes NFL fandom more than this towel right here?”
Kelce stated that he is just living in the moment. The 6-time All Pro even bragged about the towel he was carrying, a used one from a fan that made its way around the country.
Kelce hangs with the Steeler Nation before the game
Jason has been a great presence on Monday Night Countdown. The man is full of energy, loves life, and loves to eat. All three things make for a great tailgating experience. People love the Bearcats Alum no matter where he goes.
The Bills Mafia showed him love a few weeks back. The Steelers Nation was no different despite him being a former Eagle.
Kelce took to the city with a mic, interviewing Pittsburgh fans as they geared up for tailgating before Monday Night Football. The Steelers faithful showed him how to tie up a boat and offered plenty of great food and drinks. He even hopped aboard a boat, joining in the festivities.
The highlight of his experience came when a fan gifted him a cherished Terrible Towel that had traveled to 17 different stadiums — a true symbol of Steelers loyalty.
However, unlike Jason’s energetic pre-match experience, the game between the Steelers and the Giants in prime time did not live up to the hype. Up until the 10 minutes of the 3rd Quarter, the home team led Big Blue by 16-9, with many TDs getting canceled and both QBs taking a lot of sacks. The Steelers won the game 26-18, possibly giving Jason a bit extra time to live in the moment revelling with the home fans.
