In the fourth quarter of the NFC championship game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders, a bizarre scene unfolded that led to plenty of confusion for NFL fans.
The Eagles were lining up to attempt their patented tush push with the ball near the goal line. The Commanders, desperate to stop the unstoppable Jalen Hurts sneak, kept getting flagged for jumping offsides as they tried to time up the snap. It happened often enough that the referees for the game got on the microphone and explained to the Philly crowd that, if Washington committed another offsides penalty, the officials could award a score to the Eagles.
