Eagles Turn ‘Tush Push’ Look Into Deception, Springing Saquon Barkley TD vs. Bucs

Philadelphia’s signature short‑yardage look has become a deceptive platform.

Overview

  • Lined up in their short‑yardage formation on third‑and‑1, the Eagles faked the expected sneak and ran a jet sweep to Saquon Barkley.
  • Barkley went six yards untouched off the left edge for a touchdown with 3:51 left in the third quarter.
  • Tampa Bay sold out to stop the shove play and was caught by the misdirection.
  • Clips of the play were shared widely, including posts from NFL and team social accounts.
  • The successful wrinkle highlights how Philadelphia has expanded the formation into multiple options after the league declined to ban it.
