(Video)Bills’ Jordan Phillips sends strong message to Jason Kelce following allegation that He….

The verbal sparring between Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce and Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Jordan Phillips has extended well beyond their on-field encounter nearly two weeks ago. Following the Eagles’ 34-31 overtime victory over the Bills, Kelce criticized Phillips for what he deemed a questionable play, accusing the defensive tackle of attempting to injure Eagles guard Cam Jurgens intentionally.

Kelce expressed his dissatisfaction with Phillips’ actions, stating that the play was a “disgrace” and should have resulted in a personal foul. He claimed that Phillips made no effort to halt his movement after jumping offsides, suggesting deliberate intent to harm Jurgens. Despite Kelce’s strong accusations, Phillips did not incur any fines for his actions during the game.

In response, Phillips fired back at Kelce, challenging the Eagles center’s own playing style. He accused Kelce of diving at opponents’ knees on every play, attempting to roll them up. Phillips questioned Kelce’s credibility to label others as dirty players, emphasizing that Kelce’s actions on the field were not beyond scrutiny.

 

Phillips specifically addressed the incident where he threw Jurgens into the Eagles’ backfield during a quarterback sneak attempt. Defending his actions, Phillips, a 335-pound defensive tackle, argued that it was challenging for him to abruptly stop once he saw Jurgens move. He justified his approach by asserting that even if the play had continued, it would have resulted in a collision between the two teams.

 

Jordan Phillips responded to Jason Kelce accusations Phillips was trying to injure on Tush Push offside.

Phillips thinks Kelce has no right to accuse others of playing dirty.

Furthermore, Phillips expressed skepticism about Kelce’s newfound voice, suggesting that the center’s recent visibility on his brother’s podcast might be influencing his statements. He questioned the coherence of Kelce’s arguments and dismissed the notion that Kelce, a well-respected player in the league, could dictate what is considered acceptable on the field.

It’s worth noting that Kelce has not been previously accused of being a dirty player, and his playing style, including the “Tush Push” move, has been widely accepted within the league. The Eagles center was even a finalist for the 2020 Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award, further contradicting Phillips’ allegations. Despite the ongoing exchange of words, Kelce has not mentioned Phillips on his podcast, “New Heights,” which he hosts with his brother, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, in the two episodes following the Eagles’ game against the Bills.
