Overview
- Sean Mannion, the Philadelphia Eagles' offensive coordinator, confirmed the Tush Push will remain part of the offense as he installs a new system around Jalen Hurts.
- The Tush Push is a short-yardage play in which teammates push the quarterback from behind to gain one or two yards on goal-line and third-and-short situations.
- Philadelphia’s success with the play depends on Hurts' rushing strength plus precise timing, leverage and execution from the offensive line and blockers.
- A 2025 proposal from the Green Bay Packers to ban teammate pushes fell two votes short of approval and the league did not revisit the rule this offseason, leaving the play legal for 2026.
- The Eagles plan to lean into the Tush Push in short-yardage spots while expanding other elements of the offense in training camp, a move that opponents will again have to game-plan for.
