Eagles lineman reveals why renewed tush push criticism makes his 'blood boil'

The Philadelphia Eagles beat the Kansas City Chiefs 20-17 in a game that gave the Chiefs their first 0-2 record in over a decade. Colin Cowherd says that the Chiefs’ dynasty is "officially over" and that the Eagles are simply the better team.

Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Jordan Mailata is finished with the criticism over the tush push as it came under the microscope against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2.
