Tough luck for Jason.
Jason Kelce earned that Super Bowl ring back in 2017. They trampled over Tom Brady’s New England Patriots to cement their names into the record books. It was the same game where Nick Foles popped off and Trey Burton threw the famous Philly Special.
Obviously, the Eagles legend wants his ring back because of the memories and history behind it. He even outlined his plan in trying to snag a new ring.
“Somebody at some point messed with my Super Bowl ring, which I’m fine with. It’s just a hunk of metal. I’ll just have another one made I think. They can do that right?” he declared.
The journey to the Eagles’ ring
Coach Doug Pederson had a special team in his hands during the 2017 Super Bowl. They won the NFC East by only dropping three games. This squad also led the league with a 9.41 SRS while ranking third in points for which clocked in at 28.6 per game and fourth in points against which was at 18.4.
They then struggled a bit against the Atlanta Falcons. The Eagles did get the narrow victory with a 15 to 10 scoreline. Pederson’s squad then made light work of the Minnesota Vikings in the Conference Championships. A scoreline of 38 to 7 decided the match and it was long over even before the final buzzer sounded.
Tom Brady and the Patriots were an astounding team to face in the Super Bowl. After all, they were the defending champions and were at the peak of their dynasty. However, it was the combined minds of Pederson and Frank Reich that allowed them to run the Philly Special. The fake-off was successful and so was the throw. Ever since then, the rest has been history.
Kelce and the Eagles came close to another shot at football immortality. But, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce’s Chiefs were just too loaded of a squad to face.
