The Philadelphia Eagles’ ‘tush push’ is becoming the NFL’s most unstoppable play

Associated Press  

TAMPA, Fla. — The most unstoppable play in the NFL was on full display under the bright lights Monday night. “Obviously it’s a play that we’ve had a lot of success with over the last few years and it’s just a physical play,” Goedert said. “They say you can’t pull, but I was behind him.” The Buccaneers tried a different strategy by having defensive linemen leap over the offensive line to try to stop Hurts. “We’ve seen it with linebackers, but their nose tackle was trying to jump over, too,” Goedert said. I think we would be pretty successful without the push, but we’re just pushing them sometimes to give that extra thump.” The Eagles even tried to fake a “tush push” in the third quarter, perhaps to give defenses something else to consider.
