Dak Prescott had a delightfully simple explanation for the Cowboys’ failed ‘tush push’

Dak Prescott Cowboys Eagles Chargers Jalen Hurts NFL

The Philadelphia Eagles’ signature play — the “Brotherly Shove” or “tush push” — has grown into one of the more polarizing plays in the NFL.

The Eagles have so much success with the play where the running backs push Jalen Hurts forward on QB sneaks that some teams would like to see the Competition Committee legislate the tush push out of the NFL.

But the play doesn’t have a perfect success rate, and the Cowboys learned that on Monday night as they attempted the tush push against the Chargers. Dak Prescott was stopped short on fourth down, and the Chargers took over.

Later, Prescott was asked about the play and what went wrong on their attempt. He had honestly the best explanation. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.

“They didn’t push my tush enough,” he said.

Fact check: true.

Again, the play looks so easy when the Eagles do it, but the Eagles also have one of the best offensive lines in the league. It makes the job easier for Hurts on QB sneaks.

Still, fans loved that response from Prescott. The delivery was excellent.

This was how Twitter reacted
