PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA: Philadelphia Eagles superfan Ron Dunphy might be wincing from the physical fallout of his viral chest bump with Jason Kelce, but he's definitely laughing through the pain.

It all started at ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown on September 16, where former Eagles center Jason Kelce made a grand return to energize the crowd before the Eagles' game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Jason Kelce's epic chest bump with Eagle superfan turns wild

Sporting a vibrant green tracksuit, Jason Kelce was full of energy, partying with fans. But the moment everyone will remember is the epic chest bump he shared with Dunphy.

Dunphy, known for his bold chest tattoos dedicated to Philly sports teams, got the chance to join Kelce on stage.



 

The crowd erupted as the two collided in a celebratory chest bump. While Kelce emerged unscathed, Dunphy wasn’t as lucky. After the jump, he stumbled and seemed to favor one leg, indicating he might have been injured.

Later, when a friend asked Dunphy on X if he had twisted his ankle during the stunt, he humorously replied, “[F—ed] my whole knee up 😭😭😭 So worth it lmao.”



 

Despite the injury, Dunphy stayed in high spirits, sticking around to watch the game live from Lincoln Financial Field.

Of course, the chest bump wasn’t the only highlight of Kelce’s night.



 

Before kickoff, Kelce took center stage with his impressive dance moves. ESPN caught him busting out the running man to a booming EDM track backstage.

The network shared the video with the caption, “Jason Kelce is BACK in Philly 😂😂😂.” As Kelce pumped his fists to the beat, the crowd erupted in cheers, clearly excited to see him back in action.

Even Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who happens to play with Jason Kelce’s younger brother Travis, couldn’t resist joining in on the fun.

Mahomes took to social media, writing, “😂😂😂😂😂 go crazy then!! @JasonKelce” in response to Kelce’s high-energy moves.



 

But dancing wasn’t the only thing on Kelce’s agenda. He also hit up several tailgate parties outside the stadium, soaking in every bit of Philly pride before the big event.

Kelce’s return to the Eagles community comes months after his retirement in March, marking the end of his remarkable 13-season career.

But his post-football life is equally thrilling, as he's now a member of ESPN’s 'Monday Night Countdown' team.

According to US Weekly, in May, Kelce expressed his excitement about his new role, saying, “I’m excited to join ESPN, and particularly the Monday Night Countdown team. ESPN was a consistent presence in our household growing up and the network helped shape who I am and my love of all sports. To now appear on that same screen is a full circle moment. And, I mean it’s freaking Monday Night Football! and I’m ready for some football.”
