Eagles' Jordan Mailata unloads on 'incredibly disrespectful' tush push backlash

It wouldn't be a post-NFL Sunday fallout discussion without mention of the Philadelphia Eagles and their renowned yet controversial "tush push."

Frankly, many outside of Philadelphia are tired of seeing them use this unconventional quarterback sneak, claiming the Eagles need the contentious play to prevail. This isn't just because it's virtually impossible to stop, but folks believe the reigning Super Bowl champions regularly get away with penalties. Everyone becomes a pseudo-ref when Jalen Hurts and their offensive line are ready to plow through your favorite team's front seven!

If you ask Eagles star left tackle Jordan Mailata, he'll sympathize with the critics -- to some degree.
