Jason Kelce Says Jordan Phillips Blowing up the Brotherly Shove was "Bullshit" and "Absolutely a Disgrace"
Jason Kelce was on the WIP Morning Show Wednesday and Jon Ritchie asked him about Buffalo’s Jordan Phillips acting a fool:
“[Jordan Phillips] purposely tried to hurt Cam Jurgens and I thought it should have been a personal foul…I thought that play in particular was absolutely a disgrace that the NFL should not allow.”

“Well, you know the one play was a quarterback sneak, and I think teams are really trying to stop that play. They talk about it all week. I’m sure they labeled it as some of level of toughness to stop the play. I thought it was bullshit at the time, I really did. And I said so to the official on the field, I said I’ve been running that play a lot of years. I’ve seen people jump offsides. He made zero effort to stop after he jumped offsides. He purposely tried to hurt Cam Jurgens. I thought it should have been a personal foul…. I thought that play in particular was absolutely a disgrace that the NFL should not allow.”
Kelce is talking about the Brotherly Shove offside play, when Phillips just launched himself through the line and barreled over a couple of players in the process. That one was particularly egregious and outrageous.
He elaborated on Twitter:
I have zero issue with players jumping offsides and making contact with offensive lineman on that play. That isn’t what happened. He showed no effort to stop once it was clear a play wasn’t being run, ran his feet and took a free shot at a defenseless teammate of mine

There was a litany of other plays in which Phillips was being a horse’s ass, which Thomas Petersen clipped here:
Clips of Bills DT Jordan Phillips #97 being a dirty motherfucker vs the Eagles:
#1) Way after the play puts a knee in Swift’s stomach
#2) Without looking remotely at the ball, crushes Cam Jurgens and makes sure to land with full body weight on him
#3) Dives at Hurts’ head… pic.twitter.com/wz2q0dxOlG— Thomas R. Petersen (@thomasrp93) November 28, 2023
Not to mention, Phillips was one of the players who came over to the fans with Shaq Lawson during the game. He didn’t shove the one fan, but there are a bunch of clips that show him yelling at event staffers. This guy was just out of control all game long.
Let’s hit him with the “you mad” clip:
