The Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles may have been the focal point of week two of Monday Night Football. But retired all-pro center Jason Kelce was absolutely the focal point.

Dancing Kelce Goes Viral Ahead of Monday Night Football
After 13 years in the NFL, Jason decided during the offseason that it was finally time for him to hang his cleats up. Even in retirement, Jason has found a way to remain around the game of football. This past offseason, he accepted a gig to become an ESPN Monday Night Football analyst. And week two marked his homecoming in the city of brotherly love — a place he called home for 13 seasons.
Kelce's homecoming did not disappoint. The former Eagles Center took center stage in Center City. Kelce donned a velour sweatsuit colored Kelley green as an homage to his former team. The former Eagle hyped up the fans on stage at XFinity Live ahead of their Monday Night Football matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Check out the video.

Jason Has High Praise For Brother Travis
Football has meant more than just a game for Jason. It has also helped build his bond with Travis. The two brothers played football together their entire lives. Even up until college. They both started at the University of Cincinnati in Ohio. And
They famously squared off in the Super Bowl LVII, where Travis' Chiefs bested Jason's Eagles. It marked the first time in the history of the game that brothers had faced each other.
Following his retirement announcement, Jason praised his brother for the impact he's had not only on his career but his life.
"We have a small family. No cousins, one aunt, one uncle. It was really my brother and I, our whole lives. We did almost everything together—competed, fought, laughed, cried, and learned from each other," Jason said.
"There is no chance I'd be here without the bond Travis and I share. It made me stronger, tougher, and smarter and taught me the values of cooperation, loyalty, patience, and understanding. It's only too poetic I found my career being fulfilled in the City of Brotherly Love. I knew that relationship all too well."
