ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler noted this is a massive weekend for the Philadelphia Eagles and the future of the tush push. The team’s unique QB sneak play has been under fire in recent weeks, again, this time due to officiating issues.
Officials missed multiple false starts during Philadelphia’s 20-10 win over the Kansas City Chiefs last week. The play, which is a pushed assist behind QB Jalen Hurts , was nearly banned in the offseason but didn’t get the right amount of votes.
In what could be the final season for the tush push, Fowler reported officials will really be cracking down on the Eagles, and whoever else runs it, during Sunday’s slate. If it’s still difficult, that could signal the end of the play once and for all.
