NFL looks to 'officiate it tight' as Chiefs game review video renews 'tush push' scrutiny: report

A report says that the "tush push" could be on "life support" following the Philadelphia Eagles’ victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Colin Cowherd discusses whether the play is fair and if it belongs in the NFL.

Debates over the Philadelphia Eagles signature short yardage "tush push," which is also colloquially referred to as the "Brotherly Shove," were reignited after a Week 2 game in Kansas City.

The NFL sent a video to every team’s head coaches and general managers this week. The video spotlighted pre-snap violations. The Washington Post was the first to report on the details of what the tape depicted.

According to the report, it was determined that one of the Eagles "tush push" attempts during last Sunday's 20-17 win over the Chiefs should have been flagged.

The play that is under scrutiny from last week’s game at Arrowhead Stadium happened on a third down in the fourth quarter. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts ultimately converted on the third-and-1 play with less than six minutes remaining in the game.
