Defending the Tush Push is a near impossible task for defenses, especially against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Washington Commanders were tasked with trying to keep Jalen Hurts out of the end zone during the fourth quarter of the NFC championship, but were flagged for three consecutive encroachment penalties while trying to time the snap from the center.
Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu tried to channel his inner Troy Polamalu by diving over the line in order to make a big play in the backfield. Somewhat embarrassingly, he messed up the timing on his first attempt and ended up soaring over the line before the ball was snapped. He then proceeded to make the exact same mistake on the next play.
