If there’s one couple that has become a staple of Eagles football and the city of Philadelphia, it’s Jason Kelce and his wife, Kylie. Both have been embraced by the passionate and raucous Eagles fanbase over the years, which is considered one of the most devoted in all of sports.
With the No. 2 seed Eagles hosting the No. 4 seed Los Angeles Rams at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs, both Jason and Kylie were in attendance, cheering on the Eagles.
Prior to the matchup kicking off, Kylie shared a brief message about why she loves being an Eagles fan and that makes the fanbase so unique.
“The thing I love most about being an Eagles fan, is the community that it is.” Kylie said. “We love so passionately, we dislike so passionately, but we all come together, usually on Sunday’s, because Sunday’s are for the birds.”
Kylie Kelce has long been apart of the Eagles fanbase as she met Jason in 2014, three years after he was drafted by the franchise, where he ultimately spent his entire 13-year NFL playing career.
He remains one of the most decorated athletes in the organizations history as is a seven-time Pro Bowler, six-time All-Pro, and won a Super Bowl with the franchise to cap off the 2017 season. He remains a staple of the city and has often raved about the fanbase and his love for the Eagles, even after retirement.
“Some people struggle to play in this city, they can’t handle the boos, the media, or our fans. I consider it a great blessing to play in the most passionate sports town in America.” Jason said. “The sense of urgency in this city to win has pushed our organization, has fueled it to take chances, fix problems and work tirelessly in an effort to win. At times, you hate it as an athlete, especially those new to our city, but when you’ve been through it enough, you learn to appreciate it.”
