Joe Buck offers blunt message about Eagles' tush push

The Eagles beat the Chiefs with the tush push

The Eagles used the tush push multiple times while beating the Chiefs 20-17 on Sunday, and a couple of those plays came in crucial moments. The most significant was midway through the fourth quarter, when Jalen Hurts scored a touchdown on the sneak play with Philadelphia facing fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line. The touchdown put the Eagles up two scores.

Replays appeared to show that the Eagles jumped offside on the touchdown and potentially some of their other so-called "Brotherly Shove" plays. Head coach Nick Sirianni disagreed that his team gained any unfair advantage.

NFL officials will be watching the tush push closely

As expected, the NFL has instructed officials to keep a closer eye on the tush push and whether the Eagles are committing false starts on the play. Officials agreed that Philadelphia's offense got away with at least one false start against the Chiefs and now want to make sure every aspect of the play is legal.

It would not be surprising to see some flags fly on the tush push in the near future, including at the Eagles' home game on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. That said, Philadelphia won't stop running the play, despite officials watching the line of scrimmage more closely.
