Overview

  • On the August 7 episode of Exciting Mics, retired center Jason Kelce told hosts Cooper DeJean and Reed Blankenship that while he respected the 2024 Eagles’ talent, his 2017 squad would “beat the fuck out of” the newer team.
  • Kelce highlighted the 2017 roster’s resilience in overcoming major injuries to Carson Wentz, Jason Peters and Darren Sproles en route to a 13-3 regular season and a 41-33 victory over the Patriots in Super Bowl LII.
  • He credited the 2024 team’s statistical firepower, noting their 10-game win streak after Week 5 and a combined 92 points scored in the NFC Championship (55-23) and Super Bowl LIX (40-22).
  • Kelce’s candid take has reignited fan and media debates over which Eagles championship era represents the franchise’s greatest achievement.
  • The exchange underscores a broader sports culture fascination with comparing title-winning teams across generations through player perspectives and media narratives.
