Dean Blandino Would Be 'Shocked' if NFL Doesn't Ban Eagles' Patented QB Sneak

The Philadelphia Eagles may have to find another way to give Jalen Hurts a boost on quarterback sneaks next season.

Dean Blandino, a rules analyst for Fox Sports, expects the league to address the Eagles' tactic of regularly lining up a player or two behind Hurts to push him forward on sneaks.

"I think the league is going to look at this, and I'd be shocked if they don't make a change," he said, per Paul Domowitch of The 33rd Team.

The tactic was on full display in Super Bowl LVII. Hurts got a helping hand on his two-yard run to pull the Eagles within two in the fourth quarter.
