Jason Kelce Apologizes for Live TV Flub During “Monday Night Football”
The “Monday Night Football” analyst showed his team spirit while at the desk during the Bears-Eagles game
ESPN analyst Jason Kelce has apologized for a live TV blunder during a Monday Night Football broadcast. The 38-year-old former Philadelphia Eagles center made the mistake after co-host Pat McAfee called out his bias regarding the game between the Chicago Bears and the Eagles. Kelce had used the royal "we" in his halftime notes about the match-up.
"I’m looking at it, 10-7, I feel pretty good going in the half," Kelce said. "We played really well. Offensively, we had opportunities, we shot ourselves in the foot, but we’ve moved the ball, we ran the ball well, Jalen Hurts is throwing the ball well. Them getting the ball coming out of the half, I have a feeling they got a lot of momentum."
McAfee, noticing the obvious bias, joked, "Lot of 'we' talk out of Jason for Philly." Kelce then added a sincere "Sorry, sorry, sorry, Bears fans." The game proved frustrating for the 13-year veteran, with quarterback Jalen Hurts briefly leaving the game due to a concussion evaluation, and backup Andy Dalton making an early interception.
However, Bears' backup quarterback Case Keenum, who hadn't started an NFL game in over 1,000 days, stole the show with a stellar performance. He completed 24 of 34 passes for 247 yards and two touchdowns, leading the Bears to a 27-7 victory in a game played just a week after star quarterback Caleb Williams suffered a grade 2 hamstring tear.
