New York Giants edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux had a strong response to a pivotal call in the second quarter Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. Facing fourth-and-1, the Eagles opted to run their famed “tush push” play, where players line up behind quarterback Jalen Hurts and push him across the line to gain.
As Hurts passed the first down line, Thibodeaux yanked the ball out from his hands and appeared to force a fumble. However, officials blew the whistle to end the play and ruled that it happened before the ball came out, negating the fumble.
Thibodeaux was clearly still upset about the call as he addressed it in a postgame interview. The Giants defender used some colorful language, not hiding his true feelings.
