"Don't see one f*cking person talking about officiating": Eagles great Jason Kelce sounds off at media bias over Bills using tush push

The Buffalo Bills are perhaps the biggest rivals of Jason Kelce's family. With Kelce now retired, the biggest enemy of Travis is seemingly the biggest rival of both brothers. The impression was underlined by how Jason managed to vent frustration about the Bills and defend himself in one fell swoop.

Kelce tried to point out what he viewed as an unfair double standard on a Wednesday edition of "New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce." The founding father of the tush push claimed that the Bills received ubiquitous credit for the quarterback sneak play when it works, while the Eagles and officials received nearly ubiquitous hate.

"The Bills are the actual kings of the tush push. ... But one of the things that was f*cking crazy to me watching is just like every time I watch the Eagles play and they do a tush push, it's like a complete meltdown on social media to like, the nth degree of like, 'it shouldn't be allowed. It's unfair. They cheat,' all this stuff." I watched the Bills do it. It's like, celebrated. Everybody's like, happy about I don't see one f***ing person talking about the problem with officiating it or anything. Everybody's just like, 'Oh, what a great play by the Bills. Really smart heads-up play by his buddy to push him in there.' And it's like, 'yeah, thanks, guys, I agree.'"

Of course, many of those cheering about the tush push making its way to Josh Allen and Buffalo may be just as happy to have the play legislated out of the NFL by the powers that be.

When former Colts legend accused Jason Kelce of illegally stealing yards in tush push

Jason Kelce and the Philadelphia Eagles were at the center of criticism near the advent of the tush push when Kelce was still lining up at the line of scrimmage. One former lineman accused the center of breaking the rules with every tush push.

Former Indianapolis Colts center Jeff Saturday accused Kelce of stealing almost an entire yard with tush push snaps on a Dec. 19, 2023 edition of "Get Up."

"You do it quite a bit, especially when you're on the road," Saturday said. "You'll take the ball, and you see where the ball is spotted, and he moves it all the way to the line. So you're doing the half a yard, three-quarters of a yard, whatever it is. Because when you stand over it, you can kind of move it forward with some gray area."

Not many fans are happy with the state of the tush push already, but if Saturday's claims were accurate, many will argue Jason is not as innocent when it comes to the officials as he proclaims.

Put simply, the battle between Jason Kelce and the pro-pushers against the anti-pushers appears to be heating up as the stakes rise, but for now, the tush push is here to stay.
