Chip Kelly confused about what “roughing the passer” means

Eagles coach Chip Kelly still thinks the hit Terrell Suggs delivered to Sam Bradford was roughing the passer, even after the NFL explained that Suggs should not have been penalized.

Kelly said at his press conference today that he thinks referee Jerome Boger made the right call when he flagged Suggs for roughing the passer.

“I thought the interpretation on the field was correct,” Kelly said. “I thought it was a penalty and I thought Jerome Boger called it right.”

Kelly is entitled to his own opinions, but he’s not entitled to his own facts.
