Philadelphia Eagles’ use of Tush Push was a hot topic of discussion during the high season as NFL owners almost voted to effectively ban the play.
While the Eagles’ famous Play-Call survived the vote, it came under fire on Sunday night in the team’s 20-17 win against Kansas City Chiefs. The play was used several times during the game, and Hurts scored on it in the fourth quarter, giving the team a pleasant enough lead to secure the victory.

NFL fans noted that Eagles offensive linemen may have moved before snap, while the center may have been over the ball before it was given to evil.
ESPN NFL insider Adam Schafter said on “Get Up” on Monday that Chiefs lost the game in March.

“This game was lost in March. This game was lost when NFL owners refused to ban tush -push from happening. It wasn’t lost yesterday. It was lost in March,” he said.
“And there may be a lot of games that Eagles played that was lost in March because this spectacle is unstoppable. Not only does the defense don’t know how to handle it, but not even the officials know how to handle it. You see the Eagles’ linemen jump offside every game and nothing is called.”
The Eagles have been using the piece for a few years, and conflicting teams have been unable to stop it for the most part.

Philadelphia was 5-of-14 on third downs and 1-for-1 on fourth down.
