They had run the “tush push” 37 times going into Sunday’s Week 5 matchup, according to ESPN Stats & Information.“Get as low as you can and just get off full speed,” he said. “That’s it. That’s it. Make it powerful.”The Eagles had indicated going into this week’s game that they wouldn’t give up on their proven strategy until the league bans it.
“We knew the rules,” Eagles coach Nick Sirianni told reporters. “Any time we put a play in that maybe not a lot of people run and that there could be anything within the rules, we’ll always look into that. We knew the rules, and that was completely legal, and it’s been a good play for us, a really good play for us because the guys make it go and make it work.”
