refused to blame the officials for a crucial penalty call in the Eagles’ loss to the Seahawks – insisting he paid the price for ignoring warnings for years.

In the second quarter, with Philadelphia leading 10-0 and deep inside the red zone, the center was penalized for a false start with the Eagles seemingly primed for a ‘Brotherly Shove’ first down – and potentially a touchdown.

The referees came under fire, with accusations it was a bad call. But after the game, Kelce accepted that the blame lay with him.

The center revealed he had been told not to move the ball forward before the snap.

‘They’ve been warning me of that for years,’ Kelce said after the defeat – the Eagles’ third straight loss.’I had a tendency to do that in the past so they’ve definitely warned me before. I’ve got to be smarter, especially in that situation.’

Kelce believes that because the Eagles were third-and-inches, the officials were not going to give him any leeway.
