For years, Jason Kelce was one of the most important pieces to execute the NFL's most controversial play. Now, he's warning his former teammates to be more careful.
Over the weekend, the Philadelphia Eagles repeated their Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs - winning at Arrowhead by a score of 20-17.
In the fourth quarter, the Eagles executed their infamous 'Tush Push' - scoring what would eventually be the game-winning touchdown.
But Chiefs fans were irate after a slow-mo replay of that play showed the Eagles offensive linemen had actually jumped offside.
Speaking on his 'New Heights' podcast with Chiefs tight end and brother Travis Kelce, Jason offered words of caution to his former Eagles teammates.
Travis, while upset with the result, didn't hold on to any anger from the missed call: 'Either you get caught or you don't. Either way you've got to stop the play. Things like this happen. Refs miss calls all the f***ing time. Keep it moving.'

Then, Jason explained things from his perspective as a former O-Lineman: 'It's been alleged that guys are going offside on purpose.
'As the offensive line it's imperative that you get off on the snap so you're doing the best you can to get off on it before the defense gets off on it exactly when that verbiage comes out of the quarterback's mouth.
'You try to time it up perfectly, sometimes you're a little bit early but I'll tell you this. As an offensive lineman you'd rather be early than late because if you're late it's a very hard play to execute.
'I think the Eagles, and they're going to be under a microscope moving forward after everything that happened not just against you guys but in the first week too, need to be very cautious because the calls are going to start to come and they should be once it's out there and there's video evidence, rightfully so, the officials will be on it.'
Travis added, 'For those of you who don't understand how the NFL and these kind of plays work, if there's a guy who tugs in routes, a wide receiver who uses his hand or arms as levers, if guys are doing something that's playing that line of legal or illegal on the field, those tapes get sent into the NFL to review and then refs go into games the next week with notes and they start to look for those things.'
The Eagles moved to 2-0 on the season while the Chiefs have yet to win a game. Kansas City travels to the Meadowlands to play the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football while Philadelphia hosts the Los Angeles Rams.
