Why did the refs say they could award a touchdown to the Eagles?
The Washington Commanders kept jumping offsides as the Philadelphia Eagles lined up at the goal line to try and Tush Push their way into the endzone. On first and goal from the Washington one-yard line, Jonathan Allen was called for lining up offsides. The Birds ran the next play for no gain and then the longest second and goal play in NFL history happened.
Commanders’ linebacker Frankie Luvu tried to time the snap count and went flying over the Eagles offensive line, knocking Jalen Hurts over and, obviously, receiving an encroachment penalty. The Eagles lined up again and...Luvu jumped over the line again, this time with Hurts dodging out of the way.
