Philadelphia Eagles fans flooded Jason Kelce‘s social media on Friday night, begging him to come out of retirement.
The Eagles played their first NFL game since Kelce decided to retire in March after 13 seasons in the league.
Nick Sirianni’s team beat the Green Bay Packers 34-29 in Brazil but took time to get going on offense under new coordinator Kellen Moore.
Cam Jurgens, who has moved along the offensive line from guard to center to replace Kelce, snapped the ball to quarterback Jalen Hurts way too quickly.
Hurts was not ready for the ball and it ricocheted off his body and loose, allowing the Packers defense to pounce on it and turn it over.

Kelce, who was watching the game from home, was immediately bombarded by messages from fans who begged him to come out of retirement after the play.
One fan wrote: ‘Eagles about to pay Jason Kelce a billion dollars to come back’.
Another commented: ‘That’s it @JasonKelce needs to put his jersey back on and get out in the field’.
‘If I’m the Eagles I’m calling Kylie (Kelce) to get permission to get @JasonKelce back on the field,’ posted a third.
Another added: ‘Uhh maybe the Eagles should call Jason Kelce to see if he wants to come back.’
Kelce took to X to voice his support for Jurgens after one play, writing: ‘Cam Jurgens! Pulling center! Gotta love it’.
