Overview

• The Eagles scored on two quarterback-sneak lookalikes in Tampa, including an underhand toss to Dallas Goedert and a third‑and‑1 handoff to Saquon Barkley that bounced outside.
• Philadelphia beat the Buccaneers 31-25 to stay unbeaten at 4-0, with Jalen Hurts throwing two touchdown passes and leading the team in rushing.
• Head coach Nick Sirianni defended the tactic as “an exciting play,” while Barkley credited offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo for the call.
• The Packers’ offseason proposal to outlaw the push‑sneak failed by two votes, and the NFL has since told officials to enforce the play tightly after early-season concerns.
• The successful fakes expand what defenses must honor from the formation, making the short‑yardage package harder to diagnose and stop.
