Since his retirement in March 2024, Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce has continued to be one of the faces of the NFL.

Between his charity efforts for the Eagles, analyst work on ESPN's "Monday Night Countdown," his podcast "New Heights" with brother Travis Kelce, and even going shirtless at a playoff game — fans have gotten used to seeing the Philadelphia icon in different settings around the league.

Jason Kelce Travels to Ireland for Steelers-Vikings Game

In Week 4, Kelce made his way overseas for the NFL Dublin Game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Minnesota Vikings. He made a strong impression on the firefighters at Dublin Fire Brigade on Sunday.

"We were delighted to have @JasonKelce drop into us ahead of the @steelers Vs @Vikings @NFLUKIRE game in @CrokePark," the Irish firehouse wrote in a social media post with a photo of Kelce's guest appearance.

Jason Kelce refused to tell the firefighters which team he was rooting for between Aaron Rodgers' Steelers and the Carson Wentz-led Vikings.

The 37-year-old was keen to soak in the local culture in the Emerald Isle. On Friday, Kelce visited heralded Irish storyteller Eddie Linehan, calling it an "absolute honor" to be in his presence.

Jason Kelce Teased About Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift Wedding

"No hint of an invite to the big wedding for us," joked the post from Dublin Fire Brigade.

Travis Kelce and music star Taylor Swift announced their engagement last month, with Jason congratulating the happy couple publicly on the next steps of their relationship.

Travis Kelce's Chiefs face off with the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium for one of the biggest NFL games of the weekend at 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday on CBS.

While many fans may have expected to see Kelce at his brother's game on Sunday, his international travel kept him from attending the game stateside.

With ESPN carrying two "Monday Night Football" games this week, Kelce could be a little jet-lagged for his typical "Monday Night Countdown" appearance. There will be an early two-hour edition ahead of the Miami Dolphins vs. New York Jets game at 7:15 p.m. ET and the Cincinnati Bengals vs. Denver Broncos game at 8:15 p.m. ET.
