The Eagles scored on a pair of QB sneak fakes in Sunday's win, showing there's more to the tush push than a yard and a cloud of dust.
Tim McManus covers the Philadelphia Eagles for ESPN. He joined ESPN in 2016 after covering the Eagles for Philadelphia Magazine's Birds 24/7, a site he helped create, since 2010."It's an exciting play.

He even saw a Pepsi commercial featuring the tush push while watching the Steelers-Vikings game Sunday while the team was en route to Raymond James Stadium. "It seems like fans like the play," Sirianni said,"and it was pretty exciting today to get a touchdown pass off it, or two runs that come off of it, to make that play what it is."
