Pennsylvanians weigh in on Eagles' controversial 'tush push' as team remains undefeated through Week 4

Super Bowl champion Nick Foles says he is 'pro tush push' as criticism of the play mounts in an interview with Fox News Digital.

Several NFL teams tried desperately to outlaw the "tush push" this offseason, which has become notorious for being a staple of the Philadelphia Eagles' success.

The Eagles have converted a first down or scored a touchdown on roughly 87% of their tush-pushes since 2022 — they have made two Super Bowls in that span, winning this past season by ending the Kansas City Chiefs' hopes of a three-peat.

The Green Bay Packers put forward the official push (pun intended) to ban the play, and it received much support. However, there were not enough votes to outlaw it.

Well, Quinnipiac University wanted to run it by football fans in the state of Pennsylvania. Maybe they are a bit biased, but the recent polling found that 72% of the state's fans think the play should be allowed, while 16% want it outlawed.

Eighty-one percent of Eagles fans in the state support allowing the play, as opposed to 8% who oppose it. That compares to 65% of fans overall who are OK with it, and 23% who are not.
