The Philadelphia Eagles won a bone-chilling battle against the Buffalo Bills, which has guaranteed their position in the playoffs. What Jason Kelce did in the fleeting moments of the game might have been a game-decider for the 10-1 Philly team. Jalen Hurts scored a touchdown in the ending moments of the game, and it couldn’t have happened if Kelce hadn’t arrived on time.
A tweet by James Palmer tells us exactly what went down in the OT at the Lincoln Financial Field. The bout has left the Bills high and dry with a 6-6 record and a looming confusion about their berth at the playoff seats. Also, a video on YouTube perfectly dissects what happened between the teams.

This started when the Eagles gave up two penalties, leading the game to overtime. Following this, Jason Kelce headed to the tunnel, worrying the fans and the team. But the man went for a much-needed restroom break and came out with a clear mind. The Center returned quickly, considering how time was of the essence. The block by Jason Kelce on the Bills defender cleared up an opening for Jalen Hurts to use his legs and run for a touchdown.
Earlier, Kelce was penalized for a false start. So, this time, he removed himself before overtime, going about his business and returning at the time of the coin toss. The nature’s call might have eased Kelce’s discomfort as he helped Jalen Hurts score the game-winning touchdown. After this move, the Eagles have become the only team to go into the playoffs with a 10-1 record.
Vet move. Jason Kelce just left the sideline and went inside to go to the bathroom and was back on the Eagles sideline by the coin toss. Slow clap. 👏
