In a commanding performance at Lincoln Financial Field on December 14, 2025, the Philadelphia Eagles delivered a stunning 31-0 shutout victory over the struggling Las Vegas Raiders, snapping a three-game skid and improving to 9-5 while dropping the Raiders to 2-12 in a one-sided affair broadcast nationally on FOX.
Jalen Hurts orchestrated the offense masterfully, completing 12 of 15 passes for 175 yards and three touchdowns, including key scores to Dallas Goedert and A.J. Brown, as the Eagles amassed 387 total yards against a Raiders defense that offered little resistance throughout the snowy afternoon.
The Eagles’ defense dominated completely, holding Las Vegas to just 75 yards and forcing multiple three-and-outs, marking Philadelphia’s first shutout in years and providing a cathartic release for fans enduring recent frustrations amid playoff aspirations.
As the final whistle sounded and players celebrated on the field, attention shifted to postgame analysis, where former Eagles center Jason Kelce, now an analyst, joined ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown team remotely or in studio discussions recapping the day’s early games ahead of primetime.
Moments after highlights rolled of the Eagles’ triumph, the FOX broadcast booth—covering the live game—handed off to network wrap-up, but viral clips emerged from ESPN’s coverage where Kelce, overcome with emotion as a lifelong Eagle, reacted unexpectedly in a heartfelt moment shared with colleagues.
Known for his passionate Philadelphia roots, Kelce suddenly stood up in the ESPN studio, tears streaming down his face, pounding the desk and shouting “Go Birds!” repeatedly, freezing the entire Monday Night Countdown panel in stunned silence amid the raw display.
Host Scott Van Pelt, caught off guard by the intensity from his usually composed co-analyst, paused dramatically before blurting out in shocked awe, “I’ve never seen anything like that—Jason just lost it, and honestly, who can blame him after what he’s given this city?”
The dramatic outburst added electric k drama to the victory’s aftermath, underscoring Kelce’s unbreakable bond with the franchise he retired from, turning a routine postgame recap into an unforgettable, emotional highlight that resonated deeply with Eagles faithful nationwide.
