Steelers get flagged for a false start on their 'tush push' attempt

While that obviously was the right call, it still sparked major conversation, especially since the Philadelphia Eagles, the poster team for the “tush push,” have gotten away with numerous false starts on their attempts of the play. Even just this season alone, the Eagles have had multiple blatant false starts on “tush pushes” go entirely uncalled.

Interestingly enough, the Bengals also ran a “tush push” of their own later in the game with quarterback Joe Flacco. The 40-year-old Flacco used the play to successfully pick up a first down on a 4th-and-1 in the third quarter.

Opposing coaches have seemingly warned the NFL to keep a closer eye on the “tush push” for potential false-start violations. The Steelers certainly got a taste of that during Thursday’s game against the Bengals. But the people are still waiting for the Eagles to get their just deserts as well.
