Jason Kelce adds to Hall of Fame resume on Miles Sanders' two first-half touchdowns




 

With six Pro Bowl nods, five First-Team All-Pro nominations, and a Super Bowl ring already in his pocket, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce has firmly established himself as not only one of the best players at his position in his era, but a credible Hall of Famer once his time comes around.

When Kelce does make his way to Canton (perhaps with younger brother Travis), you could do worse for his sizzle reel than the two touchdowns scored by running Miles Sanders in the first half of Philly's Conference Championship game against the San Francisco 49ers.

The first Sanders touchdown came with 9:48 left in the first quarter, and Kelce teamed with left guard Lendon Dickerson to drive 49ers top defender Arik Armstead all the way to the end zone from six yards out just as Sanders crossed the goal line.

The second Sanders touchdown came with 1:36 left in the first half, and in this instance, it was up to Kelce to drive up to the second level and take on 49ers linebacker Drew Greenlaw. Not an easy task, as Greenlaw is one of the NFL's most athletic linebackers. Kelce didn't pancake Greenlaw into oblivion or anything, but he derailed Greenlaw just enough for Sanders to get back to the end zone.
