Just hours after NFL VP of Officiating Dean Blandino ruled that Terrell Suggs’ hit on Sam Bradford was legal, Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly disputed the league’s interpretation of the play in question.
The league saw the play as a clear example of a read-option handoff to the running back, which makes Bradford a runner in the eyes of the officials at the time when Suggs hit the quarterback.

Kelly doesn’t agree, and he’s saying now that the play was not a read-option to begin with, saying, "Not every shotgun handoff is a read option."
Until he changes his mind, that is.
