Jason Kelce Retirement Speech: Tear-jerked Kelce remembers Nick Foles’ BDN moniker, coach and the Philly Special

In his retirement speech, Jason Kelce couldn’t resist mentioning “Big D–k” Nick Foles and coach Doug Pederson. Reflecting on his 13-year career as the Eagles’ center, Kelce became emotional at times.

He reminisced about the iconic “Philly Special” play from their Super Bowl 2018 victory against the Patriots.

Kelce: “I won’t forget Nick Foles having the biggest game of his life, on the biggest stage possible — and the biggest d–k on the team, going up to Doug Pederson, and asking for the Philly Special, and Doug Pederson having the biggest balls in the stadium … to say, ‘Yeah, let’s do it.’”

The Philly Special

The Philly Special, also known as Philly Philly, was a memorable trick play executed by the Philadelphia Eagles during Super Bowl LII on February 4, 2018.

In this play, quarterback Nick Foles lined up behind his offensive line, while center Jason Kelce snapped the ball directly to running back Corey Clement. Clement then handed the ball off to tight end Trey Burton, who threw a pass to a wide-open Foles in the end zone, resulting in a touchdown.

This play marked the first time in Super Bowl history that a player both threw and caught a touchdown pass during the same game.

The decision by Eagles coach Doug Pederson to attempt the touchdown rather than a field goal proved crucial in their victory over the New England Patriots, ultimately leading them to a 41-33 win. This triumph ended the Eagles’ 57-year championship drought, making it a historic moment for the franchise. Many analysts have hailed the Philly Special as one of the “gutsiest” plays in Super Bowl history.
