Kelce was a sixth-round pick in the 2011 draft and has started all 37 games he has played during his career.

Philadelphia and Washington brawled in the fourth quarter after an illegal hit by Chris Baker on Eagles quarterback Nick Foles.

The Eagles will play the San Francisco 49ers on the road on Sunday.
