Jason Kelce once again showed why he is a legend in Philadelphia ahead of the Eagles’ Black Friday game against the Chicago Bears.
The legendary Eagles center was in the parking lot outside Lincoln Financial Field Friday afternoon with fans, participating in a tummy tuck competition.
Belly Bucking is like sumo wrestling, but no hands are allowed and, apparently, no shirts are either.

Kelce is no stranger to going shirtless at tailgates before football games, and he was a man of the people when he stepped into the ring in a video posted to X by “New Heights,” the podcast hosted by Kelce and his brother Travis Kelce.
Wearing an Eagles helmet that didn’t fit, Kelce easily defeated his opponent and began celebrating with several other shirtless competitors.

There was another video in which Kelce was the referee of a separate belly wrestling competition, exhilarating the participants before kicking it off. With a camera crew present at Kelce’s turn to compete, this could appear elsewhere in the future.
But when the real competition began inside “The Linc” Friday night, it wasn’t the Eagles fans cheering at the end of the day.
Caleb Williams and the Bears won a crucial road game, silencing some skeptics who questioned their 8-3 record compared to the Eagles’ identical record heading into the Prime Video game.

The Bears beat the Eagles, 24-15, behind touchdowns from both running backs – D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai – while Chicago’s defense gave Jalen Hurts and Philadelphia offensive problems throughout the game. Monangai totaled 130 yards on 22 carries, while Swift totaled 125 yards on 18 touches, gacking an Eagles defense that has been one of the best in the NFL this season.
AJ Brown, a polarizing figure all season due to lack of targets, found the end zone twice for the Eagles. However, it wasn’t enough to secure a comeback victory.
Williams also found tight end Cole Kmet for a 28-yard touchdown pass that blew the game away and left fans, including Kelce, stunned by what unfolded in South Philadelphia.

As the Eagles look to regroup next week, Jason Kelce will be in their corner as they hope to repeat as Super Bowl champions. His brother’s Kansas City Chiefs fell on Thanksgiving Day to the Dallas Cowboys, 31-28, before falling to 6-6.
