It’s the NFL’s version of a magic trick. The Philadelphia Eagles have a play in their playbook that feels like finding a legal loophole in a tax code. It’s a short-yardage cheat code that borders on a football certainty. For everyone else, it’s becoming as frustrating as a rain delay at the ballpark. The Eagles keep pulling this rabbit out of their hat, and the league just can’t seem to figure out the sleight of hand.
In Week 6 against the New York Giants, the Eagles took this reality to its logical extreme. They ran their infamous “Tush Push” four consecutive times from the Giants' three-yard line.
