The Eagles had a secret weapon en route to their NFC title this season: a nearly foolproof version of the quarterback sneak.
The play, which entailed Philadelphia's massive offensive line blocking for quarterback Jalen Hurts while teammates pushed him forward over the line to gain, earned the nickname "Tush Push," a takeoff of the "Bush Push" from USC's memorable final play against Notre Dame in 2005. And it worked, frequently: the Eagles made 31 first downs via the sneak in 2022.
Every action, however, has an equal and opposite reaction. According to Fox analyst Dean Blandino, the 'Tush Push' may be on its way out the door.
