Following the Eagles victory, news surfaced about Jason Kelce receiving a Drug Test Notice from the NFL.

NFL players undergo drug testing for banned substances at least once each league year. The process involves the random selection of 10 players weekly during the preseason and regular season, although some players have raised questions about the true ‘randomness’ of this process. Testing persists into the postseason for the team still in contention.

That being said, the viral video of Jason Kelce’s birthday outburst depicted him grabbing Damone Clark and unleashing a wordless scream in his face. Jason’s anger at Clark stemmed from an earlier play where Clark seemingly pushed his knee into Kelce’s mask during a skirmish near the goal line, as captured in a clip from the game on X.
