The Philadelphia Eagles have used their elite offensive line and powerful quarterback Jalen Hurts to nearly perfect the quarterback sneak over the last few seasons, designing a play that has become known as the "tush push" (or in Philly, the "brotherly shove").
The play design—which has a pair of players line up behind Hurts and push him forward into the heart of the defense—has drawn scrutiny from the start, with detractors arguing that it looks more like a rugby scrum than a football play and bringing up player safety concerns. Others have defended the play, citing the fact that the Eagles have only received pushback because they've nearly perfected the play thanks to their personnel. Plenty of teams have copied the tush push, but none have found the same consistent success as Philadelphia.
