Jason Kelce, former Philadelphia Eagles star and fan favorite, brought his signature energy back to Philly during Monday Night Football this week. On stage in front of an electric crowd, Kelce was in high spirits, hyping up fans and creating an unforgettable moment, but not without a small mishap.
During the Eagles vs. Falcons game, Kelce, wearing a bright Philly Green jumpsuit, a nod to his roots, was enjoying the atmosphere. He was vibing to house music and soaking in the love from the crowd when he lined up for a playful chest bump with local content creator Rob Dunphy, a well-known figure in Philadelphia’s sports scene.
In a moment of celebration, Kelce and Dunphy faced off in a playful three-point stance before launching into a chest bump. However, things didn’t go quite as planned. Dunphy landed awkwardly, appearing to injure his knee during the jump.
Injury update: all in good fun
Despite the unexpected twist, Dunphy took to social media platform X to provide an update, reassuring his followers that he was fine. The popular content creator joked about the incident, implying he might need some recovery time but wouldn’t change the experience for anything.

Kelce’s return to philly
Kelce, who retired after an incredible NFL career, was clearly enjoying his return to Philadelphia. The “South Philly Tuxedo” he sported was a special gift from his former team, the Eagles, after he forgot his NFL Countdown outfit in Week 1. Even though his live TV debut wasn’t without its hiccups, Kelce has been winning over fans with his larger-than-life personality and enthusiasm for the game.
While Dunphy’s minor injury added an unexpected twist to the night, both he and Kelce were all smiles as they embraced the fun and rowdy atmosphere of Monday Night Football. Fans in Philly wouldn’t have it any other way.
