Jason Kelce marked his final ESPN Monday Night Football appearance before Christmas in style on Monday night – dressing up as Santa for New Orleans Saints vs Green Bay Packers.
Earlier in the day, ESPN host Scott Van Pelt shared a picture of himself dressed as an elf alongside Kelce as Father Christmas – but Van Pelt was back in his suit for the broadcast. Kelce was still in his festive outfit.
Kelce’s outfit caught the eye of his NFL superstar younger brother. Travis, the three-time Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl, reposted the picture of Jason with two crying-with-laughter emojis.
And he wrote: ‘Let’s gooo!! Gonna have to tune in for this one!’
Kelce was also filmed handing out cheese to the Packers fans who had arrived early at Lambeau Field for the game – a reference to Green Bay supporters being nicknamed ‘cheeseheads’.
Kelce’s ESPN outfits have led to some scrutiny before now. On his first week, he misplaced his travel bag so bought a shirt for his debut show that was a bit too small for him.
He joked about his misfortune, saying live on the opening broadcast that ‘my t**s are still struggling’.
Jason joined ESPN earlier this year after tearfully announcing his retirement from the NFL following 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Travis, meanwhile, is likely watching from home in Kansas City as he gets some rest in before the Christmas Day Chiefs game in Pittsburgh against the Steelers.
The Chiefs are 14-1 for the season and a Christmas Day victory would lock in their place as the AFC’s No. 1 seed.
