Jordan Phillips fires back at Jason Kelce: He's a guy who suddenly has a voice because of his brother's podcast

Jordan Phillips, who plays as a defensive tackle for the Buffalo Bills, has taken a dig at Jason Kelce for the latter’s role in the 37-34 Philadelphia Eagles victory over Phillips’ team.

The news comes after the game when Kelce, who operates as a center, accused Phillips of seeking to injure Cam Jurgens during a “Tush Push” play. The Bills’ defensive tackle jumped offside and knocked Jurgens into the ground

Kelce went further by calling on the NFL to fine Phillips, who was having none of it and asserted that the former is actually a dirty player and only has a voice because of Travis Kelce.

“Even if they got that play off,” Phillips said to WROC-TV. “It’s either going to be them hitting us or us hitting them. You can dish it out obviously, but you can’t take it? That’s just soft.

“He’s a well-respected guy around the league for whatever reason. Now, all of a sudden he has a voice because of his brother’s podcast. He thinks he can use it, but the way he uses it doesn’t make any sense.

“You look at the “tush push”, he dives at somebody’s knees every play. He tries to roll them up, so for somebody to speak on playing dirty — I don’t think he has any right or any mean to call for a fine when he does a whole bunch of stuff. I just think it’s kind of crazy for him to even mention that.”

Phillips explains his actions

At 6ft6in and over 300lbs heavy, Phillips is a big guy meaning that it’s easy for him to gain momentum but it’s a lot harder for him to stop or change his direction at the last moment, which he tried to explain.

For what it’s worth, neither Phillips, nor any other player from either the Eagles or Bills, have received a discipline from the NFL as a result of the heated contest between the NFC East leaders and the AFC East second-place holders.

“I’m 335 pounds. How am I going to stop regardless. How do I know that the ball wasn’t going. And after I saw him move I put my eyes on him and I’m going go.
