Overview

• In a training video sent this week, NFL officiating executive Ramon George said the Eagles’ right guard moved early on a fourth‑quarter 3rd‑and‑1 tush‑push in the win at Kansas City and that a false start was the proper call.
• Officials were told to police the short‑yardage sneak “tight,” ensuring legal formations and shutting down any early movement as false starts.
• Philadelphia used the play repeatedly in the 20-17 victory, converting four first downs and a touchdown, and has converted it 96.6% on fourth‑and‑1 since 2022, per ESPN.
• The tactic remains legal after a Packers-backed ban failed 22-10 at the May owners meeting, two votes short of approval.
• Chiefs players and Andy Reid questioned missed calls, while Eagles linemen and Jason Kelce defended the play, and some league executives told FOX Sports the issue could be revisited if officiating consistency lags.
