Overview
- Philadelphia ran the push-style sneak seven times in the 20-17 win at Arrowhead, including a fourth-quarter touchdown and a game-sealing first down, with replays showing apparent early movement that drew no flags.
- Chiefs coach Andy Reid and defensive tackle Chris Jones said Eagles linemen moved early on multiple snaps, while officials did not call false starts in real time.
- Nick Sirianni defended the execution by noting viral clips were slowed down and said officials have a hard job, while stressing the Eagles must be “perfect” on the timing of the play.
- Dean Blandino, the NFL’s former officiating chief and now a FOX analyst, said he is “done” with the play because it is hard to officiate in piles and on the snap.
- Rams coach Sean McVay said he has consulted the league and expects no rolling start before the snap in Week 3, as owners who voted 22-10 to ban the play in the spring continue to monitor its use.
