The Tampa Bay Buccaneers registered a 32-9 victory over reigning NFC champions Philadelphia Eagles in the wild card round of the NFL playoffs on Monday night; 36-year-old center Jason Kelce was seen in tears during the defeat and refused to speak to the media after the game.
Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce has told team-mates that he is retiring after 13 seasons in the NFL, according to sources.
Kelce was seen in tears during the Eagles’ 32-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their NFC wild card playoff meeting on Monday night and declined to speak to reporters after the game.
Fellow offensive lineman Lane Johnson was also full of praise for Kelce following the defeat which ended Philadelphia’s season. “I love him. He’s one of the best to ever play the game,” he said.
“The things he can do on the football field athletically – I don’t think we’ll see another one like him for a long time.”
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said similar when addressing the media. “He’s special [Kelce], and I love him. He’s one of the most special guys I’ve been around.”
