The Philadelphia Eagles got away with a false start penalty on a tush push play during the Monday Night Football game against the Green Bay Packers. The play happened during the first quarter on third-and-one, and video shows the Eagles’ offensive line moving before the ball is snapped.
This isn’t the first time the Eagles got away with a false start on a tush push this year. In September, the NFL said theEagles should have been flagged for at least one false start when they used the play against the Kansas City Chiefs.

“Anytime we have this situation, we’re in short yardage, we know we want to make sure that we officiate these plays — the offensive team has to be perfect in every aspect,” NFL vice president of officiating training and development Ramon George said at the time, per ESPN. “We want to officiate it tight. We want to be black and white and be as tight as we can be when we get into this situation where teams are in the bunch position and we have to officiate them being onsides, movement early.
“Prior to the snap, looks like we have movement by the right guard. We also have movement coming across from the defensive side. This is a very hard play to officiate. I get it.”
