Jason Kelce was on the prowl around the Chiefs tailgating scene. The former Eagles center and older brother of Kansas City superstar Travis Kelce was spotted prepping for the “Monday Night Football” showdown between the Chiefs and Saints at Arrowhead Stadium.
“Headed into the Kansas City tailgate scene before the game today,” Kelce wrote on X earlier in the day. “Probably hitting lots C and D, anybody have any recommendations on things I have to hit, or a tailgate Shaman that can show me the ropes this afternoon?”

Not that he needed too much help.
He was a passenger on a Chiefs golf cart while holding a MNF microphone, handing out beers and parading around the parking lots to hype up the crowd for their Week 5 matchup.
Kelce, wearing a Abner Haynes jersey, also seemingly learned a beer party trick from a Chiefs fan and screamed “Go Chiefs!” in the face of a Saints fan.
Known for his fun personality and viral tailgate moments, Kelce joined ESPN as a studio analyst this season after retiring from a 13-year career as the Eagles’ center.
He was on-site with the rest of the MNF pregame crew of anchor Scott Van Pelt and fellow analysts Marcus Spears and Ryan Clark — and offered a nod to his brother and his brother’s girlfriend, pop megastar Taylor Swift, with a Chiefs-inspired friendship bracelet as part of his on-camera garb.
Swift was also in attendance for the game — as was Jason’s wife, Kylie.
Kelce has quickly taken to being on TV: his debut came at Jets-49ers season-opener and he brought his unique magic to ESPN’s coverage of the Eagles-Falcons Week 2 matchup in Philly, wearing a a green Italian tracksuit for the program’s “Countdown” segment.
He owned the stage among the Eagles’ parking lot, hyping up the Philadelphia crowd through crazy dance moves and screams into the microphone while alongside former Eagles teammates Fletcher Cox and Nick Foles.
