“I think the play is done,” Kelce said during an appearance on 94 WIP in Philadelphia. “I think that the play was going to be done last year. I think that there’s a lot of people within the league at multiple levels that want the play to be gone. Which is fine. I think we’ll still go back to running quarterback sneak and I’m sure they’ll figure out ways to be successful. I’m not really that concerned with it, to be very candid.”
The former Eagles center’s comments come just days after the Tush Push came front and center when Philadelphia secured a 20-17 road win over the Chiefs on Sunday.
On Monday, a clip of some Eagles offensive linemen seemingly committing a false start before the play without a flag went viral, leading to calls — once again — for the Tush Push to be banned.
The NFL is reportedly looking to crack down.
The Washington Post reported that the league admitted that there should have been at least one false start called on the Eagles’ Tush Push on Sunday.
The NFL is also reportedly telling game officials to call the Tush Push “tight” this weekend when the Eagles take on the Rams.
“We want to officiate it tight,” Ramon George, NFL vice president of officiating training and development, said in a training tape given to referees, according to the Washington Post. “We want to be black and white and be as tight as we can be when we get into this situation where teams are in the bunch position and we have to officiate them being onsides, movement early. … Prior to the snap, looks like we have movement by the right guard. We also have movement coming across from the defensive side. This is a very hard play to officiate. I get it.”

In the spring, the Packers led an effort to ban the play, but narrowly fell short of the needed 24 votes, getting 22 teams to vote to get rid of it, with the Ravens, Patriots, Jets and Lions among the teams that voted with the Eagles to keep it legal.
On the “New Heights” podcast earlier this week, Kelce said he expected the league to get tough on the Tush Push.
“They’re going to be under a microscope moving forward. Everybody is going to be looking at this because of what happened,” Kelce said. “They’re saying they’re in the neutral zone, they’re saying they’re false starting because they slow it down to 1,000 frames per second.
“They need to be very, very cautious because the calls are going to be starting to come, and they should be.”
