"If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." These words by Toni Morrison sum up why I got into writing after being an avid reader for most of my childhood. After juggling with words for years, it still comes as a surprise how much there is to write and read. Despite being a software engineer, the will to keep on writing got me involved with poetry and later content creation. 

The additional desire for storytelling and my history of athletics paved the way for EssentiallySports. With the dream to return to my athletic roots and absorb as much knowledge as I can, I am grateful to keep on learning new things every day about various sports.

Despite being more of an off-court reader, the thrill that game coverage instilled within me got me more involved with the NFL. Even though the stories revolving around the NFL are very intriguing, the hype and energy of the games is the literal cherry on top for me. When I am not immersed in NFL gameplays and off-court stories, I am usually lost in writing poems, cooking, and playing with colors.

 End of the road for Jason Kelce? He’s not so sure. He made a dramatic announcement after the Eagles’ [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/] last game. What was the announcement? He was going to retire. But then, things seemed to get blurred. But he’s sure about one thing. Jason Kelce wants his brother’s team to win the Super Bowl [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/nfl-super-bowl/]. Obviously, he was there at the AFC Title game to root for his brother. And his brother ended up winning too. Post the game, some memories surfaced which led to him rethinking his retirement decision. JASON KELCE STILL UNSURE ABOUT RETIREMENT Standing on the gridiron beside Travis [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/travis-kelce/], Jason Kelce took a reflective moment. The memories that stick out the most? The triumph of the Eagles over the 49ers [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/] in the NFC Championship game in 2023. For Jason, those shared moments with teammates, right on the brink of the Super Bowl, never lose their magic. He confessed that it was making him nostalgic. “You watch this and the emotion is so high,” Jason said. And maybe that made him second-guess his retirement decision? “And I don’t know what’s going to happen for me.” But there’s no doubt about one thing. He still wants to be involved with the NFL. And yes, his team, the Eagles as well. Hurts Amid Eagles’ QB’s Health Rumors [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-active-news-definitely-not-nick-sirianni-shatters-opinions-of-benching-jalen-hurts-amid-eagles-qbs-health-rumors/] “I don’t want to ever feel like I’m on the outside looking in on these achievements and these accolades. It’s too good a feeling to pass up.” And he has won his fair share of achievements and accolades. JASON KELCE’S STUNNING RUN IN THE NFL For a solid 13 seasons, Jason has been the backbone of the Eagles’ success. Clinching the highlight with their Super Bowl LII triumph in 2017. He had contemplated retirement in the last two offseasons. However, he’s been lured back each time for one-year deals. This season, the seven-time Pro Bowler showcased that age is just a number. He conceded just one sack, one hit, and 13 hurries. The result? He’s in the top 10 for each of those categories. Jason Kelce [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/WhatsApp-Image-2024-01-16-at-18.15.17_64dd97cb.jpg]Jan 15, 2024; Tampa, Florida, USA; Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce (62) thanks the fans as he leaves the field after a 2024 NFC wild card game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Nathan Ray Seebeck-USA TODAY Sports The Center also set a franchise record with 156 consecutive regular-season starts. Jason not only anchored the line but also played mentor to rookies like Cam Jurgens. As for his next move, he’s taking it slow. Right now, it’s all about relishing the offseason. And yeah, sharing the journey with his brother, which will reach its climax in Las Vegas on February 11.

Watching his brother, Travis, win the AFC Title game stirred memories for Jason Kelce. Will he reconsider his retirement decision?

I am a hardcore believer in the ?Mamba Mentality?, which certainly applies to
the NFL. The sport is not just about physical prowess but also demands a
powerful mindset. Growing up, I spent time with athletes on the neighborhood
soccer field. While fixating on breaking down strategies and player performance,
I also developed a strong connection with the Denver Broncos as I watched
Russell Wilson break the barriers and achieve excellence. My research abilities
and fondness for Newsroom Culture helped me lay the Noble Stone for sports
journalism. My time with EssentiallySports may not have been very long, but I
have managed to keep readers immersed with my analysis of matchups, game
previews, and more! As a writer, I?d say my writing style connects both
passionate NFL fans and those who want to learn the basics of this technical
sport. My love for motivational literature has been helpful in connecting fans
with the powerful psychological aspects of the sport. During my time away from
breaking down complex stories, I can be found ?pumping iron? at the gym.

<h3>NFL</h3>
<h3>History</h3>
In August 1920, representatives from four states: Akron, Canton, Cleveland, and Dayton, held a meeting and formed the American Professional Football Conference (APFC) to improve footballing standards in the country. A month later, they formed the American Professional Football Association (APFA) and played a league with 14 teams. In 1922, they changed the name to the National Football League (NFL).

In 1960, a new professional league, the American Football League (AFL) started as a competition against the NFL. After six years, in 1966, the two leagues announced a merger that would take effect in 1970. During the four years between the announcement and the actual merger, the leagues started playing a Championship game which was called The Super Bowl. Since then, the two leagues have been recognized as two separate conferences within the same league, the NFL.
<h3>Participating teams</h3>
There are 32 teams in the NFL divided equally into two conferences: National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). Each conference is further divided into 4 divisions: East, North, South, and West, with each division containing four teams.
