Robert Saleh and the New York Jets know it’s probably coming and it’s nearly impossible to stop. The Philadelphia Eagles’ “tush push” could make an appearance during the teams’ showdown Sunday at MetLife Stadium. Saleh said the Jets have to give Hurts '11 kisses” by stopping him or making him hurt a little if the Eagles try it against them.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, top center, stretches but is unable to get a first down during the second half of an NFL football game against the Los Angeles Rams Sunday, Oct. 8, 2023, in Inglewood, Calif. New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh reacts during the second half of an NFL football game against the Denver Broncos Sunday, Oct. 8, 2023, in Denver.
The “tush push” or “brotherly shove” is considered by many in NFL circles to be the most unstoppable play in the league when the Eagles run it. Basically, Hurts lines up under center Jason Kelce with two or three players behind him. When Hurts takes the snap, the offensive line surges forward and Hurts gets a big push from behind for a super-powered quarterback sneak.
Philadelphia was successful on the sneak 37 out of 41 times last season on its run to the Super Bowl. According to ESPN Stats & Information, the Eagles are 13 of 16 this season — including a touchdown last Sunday at the end of the first half that gave Philadelphia a 17-14 lead over the Los Angeles Rams.
