In a moment of levity for the crew, Van Pelt and Kelce would try to walk the moment back. Kelce explained that he simply “doesn’t like picking touchdowns.” Fellow former player analyst Ryan Clark eventually jumped in, saying he foresaw a big game for Los Angeles running back Kyren Williams and “not because anyone told me to.”

Jason Kelce has become very popular in recent years because he isn't afraid to be himself and do and say things that are true to his heart and to his being. That was on display before Monday night's game when he had a very honest answer during a betting segment on ESPN's pregame show before the Vikings-Rams wild-card showdown.

The ratings for the debut episode of the former Eagles center’s Friday night/Saturday morning talk show, “They Call It Late Night with Jason Kelce,” were “not particularly good,” in the words of Puck sports business expert John Ourand.

Jason Kelce has reason to be a bit glum. His first episode of "They Call It Late Night With Jason Kelce" averaged a mere 290,000 viewers on ESPN, per Puck’s John Ourand. That's not good.

When Jason Kelce took the stage at Union Transfer last Friday for the taping of his new ESPN talk show, his first shout-out went to his wife, Kylie, seated in “Kylie’s Korner” in the balcony to his left.
