Eagles' Dallas Goedert on 'tush push' staying in NFL: 'They’re just not as successful'

Philadelphia Eagles star tight end Dallas Goedert, an essential piece of the team's famous "tush push" play, is happy the NFL didn't ban what he considers a "great football play."

NFL owners reportedly got into a heated exchange last month while arguing about a potential ban on the play the Eagles have figured out to perform better than any other team in the league.

Philadelphia just performs it at a higher rate than anyone else, even the Buffalo
