Jason Kelce: 'When I Play Well, We Tend To Win Games'
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Jason Kelce called Sunday's 20-19 Eagles loss the worst game of his life.
"I probably had one maybe three years ago that was equally as bad," Kelce said during Monday's 94WIP Locker Room Show with Merrill Reese, Howard Eskin, Jon Runyan, and Malcolm Jenkins. "Again, it's not the physical mistakes. Everybody is gonna get beat every once in awhile, it's the mental ones. It's the one that kill drives. It's the ones that stop offenses."

The 28-year-old Pro Bowl center struggled vs. the Dolphins committing two holding penalties, an offsides penalty, and snapping the ball over Sam Bradford's head. Kelce feels like he is the catalyst of the offensive line and he continues to put all of the blame on himself.
"Generally speaking, I feel like when I play well and I don't make drastic mistakes we tend to win games," Kelce said. "And I think that, as somebody who controls the offensive line, when the offensive line seems me as a composed individual not making mistakes that they feel more comfortable. I think that our offensive line was playing pretty darn well in the game for the most part, up until I started going off the reservation with the holding penalties and the snaps. And then all of the sudden you see Lane Johnson start to struggle."
How come the bad snaps continue to happen?
"I've had a tendency to snap it low, so I've been trying to work on getting the snaps up so that Sam doesn't have to bend down to get them," Kelce said. "And obviously that went extremely wrong in the negative, in the wrong direction."
What about the holding calls?
"The one [hold] on the pass protection (pictured above), I don't really think that's a hold," Kelce said. "I'm just trying to do my best to block the guy, but this same guy [referee] and this same [officiating] crew has called me for quite a bit this year.
"I gotta stop holding, I don't know."
Did you sleep last night?
"Not very well."
