Summary at a Glance

Frankie Luvu (seen mid-air) encroached on two straight plays in an attempt to stop Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (1) from pushing forward for a touchdown in the NFC Championship.

Chiefs stars give their verdict on Eagles' controversial 'tush-push' play ahead of Super Bowl Many NFL fans think that the 'tush-push' should be banned - but at least two Chiefs players don't share that opinion.

The play, which the Eagles began using on short-yardage situations in 2022, sees players line up behind quarterback Jalen Hurts and try to push him past the first-down marker.

Defensive lineman Jonathan Allen then earned a third straight encroachment penalty, and with referee Shawn Hochuli unable to move the ball any closer to the goal line, he warned he could invoke a little-known rule and actually give the Eagles points if the penalties continued.

The Eagles' NFC Championship win over the Commanders saw Washington go to drastic lengths - and test the rules of the game - as they tried to keep a Philly 'tush push' from crossing into the end zone.
