The affectionately named “tush push” received a lot of media attention during the NFL offseason.
Many fans and analysts believe the Philadelphia Eagles have an unfair advantage on quarterback sneaks given the success of their efforts.
Banning the quarterback sneak, particularly in the manner the Eagles do it, was attempted by front offices across the league.
It was put to a vote, but ultimately, it is still allowed.
The Eagles continue to dominate with this play and several of their players have spoken out about it.
Darius Slay recently took to Twitter to talk to the critics, effectively saying other teams are jealous and unable to implement this play successfully.
I see teams trying QB sneak an don’t get it.. that should tell ya something!

Offensive lineman Jason Kelce is also a massive public advocate for the Eagles and this style of quarterback sneak.
On his podcast, “New Heights,” Kelce’s fans are known as the 92 percenters, the approximate rate the Eagles convert this play.
Unless the Eagles are breaking any NFL rules, it appears the “tush push” will stick around for the foreseeable future.
Teams are still largely unable to stop them and are also unable to figure this play out for themselves.
The Eagles are now 4-0, seen as one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl in 2023.
If their dominance continues, the Eagles will keep playing in nationally televised games, giving more exposure to this play.
With more exposure comes more opportunities for fans and analysts to get a closer look at the Eagles’ offensive success.
Will this finally result in the league stepping in, forcing the Eagles to make a change?
