Jason Kelce gifted the winner of the Andy Reid lookalike contest with bizarre “whiskers” ahead of ‘Monday Night Football’.

Before the Kansas City Chiefs faced the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Arrowhead Stadium on Monday night, Kelce appeared on ‘Monday Night Countdown’ to judge an interesting competition. ESPN decided to set up a unique contest to determine the most convincing fake Reid.

Known for his distinctive mustache, cap, and Chiefs gear, Reid has an unmistakable look that created a fun competition for fans. The contest appeared to encourage creative interpretations of his style and personality from fans hoping to snag the top spot.

The winner was set to be featured on ‘Monday Night Countdown’, with ESPN promising a “mystery prize” for the winner. After the winner was announced, Kelce gifted some of Reid’s ‘whiskers’ – some of the 66-year-old’s mustache hair in a bag.

Kelce was excited by the prize, yelling down the camera that it was a “one of a kind” gift. He then congratulated the fan and awarded the prize, saying: “I’d like to present to you – you’re now the official only person to own pieces of Andy Reid’s whiskers. I just wanted to say congratulations. Thanks for showing up, you’re the best brother.”

“I’m jealous!” Kelce declared as he sat down at his desk. However, his ‘Monday Night Countdown’ colleagues didn’t quite agree.

Meanwhile, fans were somewhat confused by the prize, although they were seemingly pleased for the winner. One fan wrote: “Looks like Andy Reid’s doppelganger just leveled up! When your whiskers get more screen time than you do!”

Another added: “You know that man is gonna add it to his shrine.”

The event was part of the pregame excitement leading up to the primetime game and added an extra layer of fun and fan engagement to the gameday atmosphere. The clash between the Chiefs and Buccaneers was a heavily anticipated contest, with the home team looking to maintain their 100 percent start to the season.

The Chiefs have not been at their explosive best offensively but have emerged as one of the best defensive teams in the NFL. The reigning back-to-back Super Bowl champions are looking to win an unprecedented third in a row and appear well-equipped to do so.

The Buccaneers started the season strong, but injuries to star receivers Chris Godwin and Mike Evans have left Baker Mayfield without key weapons. The 7-0 Chiefs face the 4-4 Buccaneers on Monday, Nov. 4.
