Jason Kelce made his return to Philadelphia as a member of ESPN's Monday Night Countdown crew, but not before he fired up a crowd of Eagles' fans ahead of the matchup between the Birds and Atlanta Falcons.

He also showed off his dance moves, which impressed Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes:

Kelce was joined on stage by former Eagles legends Nick Foles and Fletcher Cox, who were disguised in dog masks similar to the ones that players like Lane Johnson and Chris Long wore during the team's playoff matchup against the Falcons back in the 2017 season after being labeled as underdogs in that matchup. The Eagles, of course, would go on to win that game and eventually the Super Bowl title.

Foles officially retired as a member of the Eagles on Monday:

ESPN's Adam Schefter further upped the Philly ante, dressing up as a Mummer during his on-field report, a nod to the outfit Kelce wore during the team's Super Bowl parade after the 2017 season:

As for the aforementioned Kelce, the 36-year-old spent his entire 13-year career with the Eagles, earning seven Pro Bowl bids, six first-team All-Pro selections and a Super Bowl title during his tenure. He's one of the most beloved Eagles in franchise history and one of the most popular Philly athletes, period, so it wasn't a surprise that his return to Lincoln Financial Field brought the juice.
