PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Eagles were facing a fourth-and-1 at midfield early in the second quarter Sunday, and everyone in the stadium knew what was coming before the offense even lined up.
A capacity crowd of nearly 70,000 rose for a standing ovation, anticipating perhaps the most talked about play in the NFL.
The "tush push."
Or is it the "brotherly shove?" The nicknames vary, but the results have been remarkably consistent.
"It's been a good play for us," Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said. "A really good play for us."
The play is a glorified sneak where the quarterback is pushed forward by teammates lined up behind him.
