Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce didn’t hold back during a recent interview, boldly stating that his team surpasses the Washington Commanders in every position. Speaking on the 94 WIP Morning Show, Kelce’s “honest assessment” comes as both teams gear up for their NFC Championship clash.
Kelce praised Washington’s rookie quarterback and the team’s coaching staff, noting their strong teamwork and minimal mistakes. However, he confidently declared, “If you put the two rosters, the depth charts next to each other, I don’t know that there is one position where I would take the Washington player over the Eagles player.”
Kelce’s statement has sparked conversations among fans and analysts, highlighting the tension between these two NFC rivals.

A look back at the regular season matchup
The Eagles already bested the Commanders earlier this season, securing a 26-18 victory. Running back Saquon Barkley was the star of that game, rushing for an impressive 146 yards and scoring two touchdowns. Kelce’s comments seem to reinforce the Eagles‘ dominance in their prior matchup, but the stakes are now higher than ever.
Sunday’s showdown: A test of words and strength
The upcoming NFC Championship game will determine whether Kelce’s confidence is justified. Both teams are dealing with injuries, but the pressure is on the Eagles to live up to their veteran center’s bold claims. Washington, known for its resilience and strategic gameplay under head coach Dan Quinn, won’t make it easy.
Fans are eagerly anticipating this clash, not just for a Super Bowl berth but to see if Kelce’s candid remarks serve as a motivational boost or added pressure for his team.
As Sunday approaches, all eyes are on Philadelphia to deliver on the promise of their superior roster. Will Kelce’s words prove prophetic, or will Washington rise to the occasion and silence the doubters?
