The Philadelphia Eagles' remarkable short-yardage success remains a unique phenomenon in the NFL. Their innovative "tush push" play, where quarterback Jalen Hurts is propelled forward by his teammates after the snap, has become a signature move, generating both touchdowns and controversy. This tactic was instrumental in their Super Bowl run two years ago, and as they return to the big game, the "tush push" is once again a hot topic.

Despite the widespread attention and various nicknames, Hurts himself prefers the straightforward term "quarterback sneak." While he acknowledges the play's effectiveness, he doesn't get caught up in the hype surrounding it.

The "tush push" sparked debate during the 2023 season, with some questioning its legality and calling for a ban. However, NFL executive Troy Vincent dismissed these calls, emphasizing that teams shouldn't be penalized for effective strategies. Whether fans call it the "tush push" or the "brotherly shove," it's undeniable that the play has left its mark on the league.

Opponents, like the Washington Commanders, have struggled to defend against the "tush push," often resorting to offsides penalties in their attempts to disrupt it. Now, the Kansas City Chiefs face the challenge of devising a strategy to counter this potent play in Super Bowl LIX.
