PHILADELPHIA – Jason Kelce is gearing up for his 13th NFL season, all with the Philadelphia Eagles, and despite never emerging victorious against the Seattle Seahawks, Monday night’s game at Lumen Field holds a higher level of importance. While adding the Seahawks to a list of teams he has beaten would be nice, the Eagles need to end their two-game losing streak, keep their hopes alive for the top seed in the NFC playoffs, and attempt to win back-to-back NFC East championships. Kelce emphasized the significance of the upcoming game, stating, “This is a huge game for us. This is, for all intents and purposes, very similar to a playoff game.”
The Eagles’ last victory against the Seahawks was in 2008, and since then, they have been 0-7 against Seattle. Kelce pointed out the challenge, acknowledging that Russell Wilson has been a formidable opponent for the Eagles. He also noted that the Seahawks have been a strong team, with a great coach and a formidable defense. Kelce stressed the importance of the upcoming game, hoping for a much better performance. He expressed his anticipation for another opportunity to go out with his teammates and make things right on the field.
