With the beginning of a new year, the Philadelphia Eagles would love to put the ghosts of 2023 behind them. In the last month of 2023, the Eagles lost 4 of their 5 games. Now the team’s superstar center, Jason Kelce, addresses his and the team’s mindset before going for the last game of the regular season.
With a record of 11-5, the Eagles have already qualified for the playoffs and can still win their division, the NFC East. This is a testament to a great team that has been acing for the most part of the season. However, will the Eagles be able to focus on the good and leave the bad behind in 2024?

Last week’s loss against the minnows Arizona Cardinals opened a can of worms for the Eagles. Previously, losing to some of the biggest teams in the league was not as hurtful. But this loss cemented the notion that there might be something missing in the squad. Jason Kelce, however, brought his calmness to the press conference.
“I think this group, we have a lot of great players, a lot of great coaches. We’re on a stretch right now, we haven’t played good football”, Kelce said to the media. The 36-year-old stressed on the greatness of his squad, while also pointing out the bad run of form.

Kelce also gave hope for the upcoming contest against the New York Giants. He said, “We get another opportunity to go out there this week and go prove to ourselves and go out there and have fun together”. The center’s demeanor spoke volumes of his mindset, but this positive attitude could also be for another reason.

The Super Bowl winner was recently announced as the starting center for the Pro Bowl ’24 game. Cementing his position as one of the best not only in the NFC but in the NFL. This is the eighth time Kelce has received this prestigious honor. Though it will be the first time that he will be without his younger brother, Travis Kelce.
Jason will be looking to bring honors to the Kelce name in the Pro Bowl. Even if he must do it all alone. With Jason Kelce, 5 other players from the Eagles will be accompanying him for the Pro Bowl this year.
