Eagles center Jason Kelce said he “actually wasn’t screaming” in the face of Cowboys linebacker Damone Clark during Sunday’s game at Lincoln Financial Field.
NFL fans had a field day when Fox cameras honed in on Jason appearing to scream his head off while he and Clark pulled at each other’s jerseys with less than two minutes left in the second quarter.
“I actually wasn’t screaming,” Jason said in the latest installment of his “New Heights” podcast Wednesday.
“I was laughing as loud as I could in his face.”
Jason’s brother, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, brought up the now-viral moment in Philadelphia’s 28-23 win over their NFC East rivals on Sunday night.
“The biggest offensive play for some people is Jason, you screaming right in that man’s face,” Travis said.
“Why don’t you tell the people what the f–k you were doing.”

“That’s a laugh?” Travis asked. “That’s f–king terrifying.
“You’re like a f–king thrilled villain, just a crazed f–king psycho.”

“Yeah I don’t know what happened,” he said. “I kinda blacked out.”
“Atta boy, get Beau Allen to carry you f–king home,” Travis said, referring to the former Eagles nose tackle.
“It was a hilarious moment and you looked like a f–king psycho maniac that just loves what he’s doing, so I loved every bit of it.”
Jason, who turned 36 on Nov. 5, had an NFL-administered drug test notice waiting for him after the Eagles’ close win over the Cowboys, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts appeared to re-aggravate his lingering left knee injury when he was sacked by Dallas linebacker Micah Parsons late in the second quarter.
Hurts, who’s been dealing with the injury for over a month, stayed down on the ground momentarily before getting up and limping to the sideline.
