Much attention has been dedicated to the Eagles' famous tush push play over the last year. Off the field it has dominated discussion to a disproportionate degree. On the field, opponents are forced to zero in on the play in any short-yardage situation. On Sunday against the Buccaneers, Philly took advantage of that.
Holding a 24-13 lead with a few minutes left in the third quarter, the Eagles faced a third-and-1 near Tampa Bay's goal line. They lined up for their usual tush push with Jalen Hurts under center ready to surger forward. Then, trickery.
