Monday Night Football saw more than just action on the field when Jason Kelce , the recently retired Philadelphia Eagles center, returned to cover the Week 2 matchup between the Eagles and the Atlanta Falcons for ESPN. In true Kelce fashion, the pre-game festivities took an unexpected turn, leaving one fan with a painful but memorable experience.
Chest Bump with Jason Kelce Went Wrong For Philadelphia Superfan
Jason Kelce, known for his energetic personality, was seen embracing his homecoming at Lincoln Financial Field, mingling with fans and enjoying the excitement leading up to the game. Before kickoff, Kelce and a few Philadelphia legends, including Nick Foles and Fletcher Cox, took to the stage, hyping up the crowd in the parking lot. Among them was Rob Dunphy, a Philadelphia superfan who became a viral sensation during a primetime game in 2019 for his impressive display of Philly sports tattoos.
Kelce and Dunphy, in high spirits, decided to engage in a lighthearted chest bump. Both lined up in three-point stances, preparing for the bump that would quickly become memorable for reasons other than just its enthusiasm. As they collided, Kelce, lighter than his playing weight but still a force, dashed off laughing, while Dunphy’s face told a different story. The superfan appeared to grimace in pain following the bump, signaling that something had gone awry.

Dunphy later confirmed that his knee had been injured during the encounter. Despite the pain, he remained in high spirits, sharing on social media that it had been "so worth it." His admiration for Kelce remained undeterred, as he humorously referenced the Eagles’ infamous “Tush Push” play, noting how it was easy to understand why Kelce was so effective in that role.
As Week 2 progressed, the NFL ’s injury report continued to grow, with notable stars like A.J. Brown, Jordan Love, and Christian McCaffrey sidelined due to various ailments. Though Dunphy may not share the field with them, he now has a knee injury of his own, courtesy of his brief but memorable interaction with Kelce. Nonetheless, Dunphy's loyalty and love for the Eagles seem stronger than ever.
