One of the architects of the tush push was impressed by the Vikings' unique attempt to stop it on Sunday.
With the Eagles facing third-and-1 late in the first quarter, Minnesota tried out an interesting defensive formation on the field in order to stop Philadelphia's signature play. They set up with linebacker Tyler Batty lined up sideways in front of Eagles center Cam Jurgens, with the rest of the defense crowding the line around him, and two interior linemen over top of him. The result of the play was a false start by receiver A.J. Brown, moving Philly back five yards.
