It’s Tush Push mania at MetLife Stadium.
During the Eagles’ touchdown drive midway through the second quarter in Thursday night’s game against the Giants, the Philadelphia offense used its signature Tush Push on four straight plays to get into the end zone.
On the second Tush Push — which the Eagles ultimately converted on fourth and inches — officials appeared to miss a blatant false start from Philadelphia offensive lineman Tyler Steen.
Their fourth and final use of the controversial play on that drive resulted in a touchdown, which put the Eagles up 16-13 on the Giants.
Heading into the 2025 season, the Eagles have a reported 96.6 success rate when using the Tush Push, as some look to ban it this offseason.
“It’s getting very sloppy and officials can’t officiate it,” one anonymous coach told The Athletic in September.

“They have to make sure no one is in the neutral zone and that no one moves before the ball. There are just a lot of missed calls on the play.”
On Thursday, Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons was among the many who called out the play.
“This is not football!” he wrote on X with two trash emojis.
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy was over it too.
“This is why tush push needs to be banned. Football is supposed to be entertainment,” he wrote. “This ruins the game. No different than changing pass interference rules for more scoring. Nobody wants to watch this s–t.”
“I’ve come to the other side — ban the tush push,” added Pro Football Focus writer Myles Simmons. “I want to watch football, not whatever that sequence just was.”
