While just about every team has tried some variation of copying this play, the Eagles are the only ones to consistently convert in short-yardage situations.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/05\/20\/eagles-tush-push-under-fire-after-packers-revised-ban-proposal\/\" target=\"_self\">Eagles first started using the Tush Push<\/a> in 2022, and the rest of the league has yet to figure out how to stop it. Some organizations across the league believe the play leads to increased safety risk, and the Green Bay Packers introduced a proposal to ban the play during the March league meetings. Ultimately, the resolution failed and the play remains legal, although some say Philadelphia&#8217;s offensive line was getting away with uncalled false starts during the Week 2 matchup against Chris Jones and the Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks in part to the Tush Push, the Chiefs now enter Week 3 with an 0-2 record and are facing an unofficial &#8216;must-win&#8217; contest against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/giants\/\" target=\"_self\">New York Giants<\/a>. While the Giants are also 2-0, they&#8217;re coming off a game where Russell Wilson threw for over 400 yards and nearly pulled off the upset victory against the Dallas Cowboys.<\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo: Jay Biggerstaff &#8211; Imagn Images<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones voiced his frustration with the Tush Push in Week 2&#8217;s loss against the Eagles<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2376,"featured_media":247311,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[59,16,21],"tags":[7811,298,5865,7393],"class_list":["post-247308","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fantasy","category-chiefs","category-eagles","tag-chiefs-featured","tag-chris-jones","tag-jalen-hurts","tag-philadelphia-eagles-news"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247308","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2376"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=247308"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247308\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":247312,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247308\/revisions\/247312"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/247311"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=247308"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=247308"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=247308"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
