The Bears have spent their shortened week preparing to stop what defensive tackle Grady Jarrett calls “one of the football’s most hated plays” — the “Tush Push.”
The Eagles, whom they play Friday, have perfected the short-yardage play in which quarterback Jalen Hurts takes the snap and is shoved forward by his teammates. The play, considered by some to be antithetical to football, was nearly ruled illegal this offseason and might not last beyond this year.
“We do have a plan in place and we feel like it’s a good, solid plan,” defensive coordinator Dennis Allen said.
