Dallas Cowboys vs. Eagles: Philadelphia Accused Of Being 'Soft' & 'Dirty' & Taylor Swift-Hyped

Dallas Cowboys vs. Eagles: Philadelphia Accused Of Being 'Soft' & 'Dirty' & Overhyped Thanks to Taylor Swift

ARLINGTON - The Philadelphia Eagles have involved themselves in extracurricular conflict in each of their last two games. Last week, in a loss to the 49ers, it was the team's "Head of Insecurity'' Dom DiSandro who decided to involve himself in game action, earning him an ejection and a ban from the sidelines on "Sunday Night Football'' as the Eagles play at the Dallas Cowboys.

And the week before? The fallout continues from Philly's win over the Buffalo Bills, a game that saw Eagles center Jason Kelce accusing Bills defensive tackle Jordan Phillips of attempting to injure an opposing player

And Phillips response? Kelce is the one who is the "dirty'' player, and his inability to deal with that makes the Eagles leader "soft.''

Kelce argues that Phillips jumped offside and into the Eagles' "Tush Push'' line and drove Philadelphia guard Cam Jurgens into the ground.

But, countered Phillips, "You look at the "Tush Push," (Kelce) dives at somebody's knees every play. He tries to roll them up, so for somebody to speak on playing dirty ... 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 also got in a dig at Kelce's newfound level of celebrity, suggesting that his and his brother Travis' podcast New Heights is popular in part because the Chiefs' Travis dates pop star Taylor Swift.

"You can dish it out obviously, but you can't take it? That's just soft," Phillips said. "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."
