It’s rare to find the word “inevitability” in relation to sports, particularly in the National Football League (NFL), where supporters are aware that anything can happen at any time. However, one play—”The Brotherly Shove”—seems to be helping the Philadelphia Eagles finally understand the power of confidence.

The “Brotherly Shove,” often referred to as “The Tush Push,” is a play on Philadelphia’s moniker as the “City of Brotherly Love” and has grown to be the most talked-about play in the NFL.

Against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday, can the “Brotherly Shove” help the Eagles overcome their recent struggles and advance to the playoffs? This is all the information you require on the most incredible play in the sport.

The brotherly shove—what is it?

The Eagles’ unique take on the quarterback sneak, known as the “Tush Push,” is used when they are in short-yardage scenarios.

Following the snap, quarterback Jalen Hurts of the Eagles advances with the ball while the rest of the offense presses forward to get Hurts over the first-down line.

The brotherly shove is now the most talked-about play in the NFL.

“The deflator”

“You can’t stop what’s coming, even though you know it’s coming. That’s the worst thing, offensive lineman Brian Baldinger, who played in the NFL for 11 years before becoming an analyst, tells CNN Sport.

The Eagles ran the “Tush Push” with a 93.5% success rate last season, according to The Athletic. The play is a mainstay of the Eagles attack this season, and the success percentage is still well over 90%.

Baldinger refers to the play’s domination on the field as a “deflater.” He remarked, “They are kind of helpless to stop it because they are broadcasting to you exactly what they are going to do.”and you really have no power to stop it,” he remarked.

A QB season record 15 times, star quarterback Hurts has burst into the end zone; an astounding 11 touchdowns have come from the “Tush Push.”

“In our league, yards are the deciding factor in so many games. Baldinger continues, “You have to give the ball back if you are stopped in short yardage or are unable to gain a yard near the goal line.

The Eagles are winning games as a result of [the ‘Tush Push,’ which is used to determine games. They can make that yard, which has helped them win a lot of games over the past few years.

Jalen Hurts, the quarterback, has developed into a master at crossing the first-down line.

The Eagles’ dedication to and faith in the play, according to Baldinger, who has played for the Indianapolis Colts, Dallas Cowboys, and Eagles, means that head coach Nick Sirianni’s squad is ready to use the “Brotherly Shove” whenever and anywhere on the field.

The Eagles’ beat writer for The Athletic, Brooks Kubena, makes reference to a game earlier in the season against the Dallas Cowboys where Philadelphia used the play in a number of different scenarios.

Kubena tells CNN, “They brought it up four times in four different situations.” They scored a touchdown on a third-down conversion, a fourth-down conversion, and a third and goal. They even attempted to prevent a safety later on by bringing it out on their own goal line, and they were successful in doing so as well.

The play was successful each of the four times the Eagles ran it.

“It is evident there that it is inevitable. You’re thinking, “Oh my god.” Let’s see if this defense can muster the necessary momentum to put an end to it. Furthermore, that hasn’t actually occurred yet, says Kubena.

The defense knows that this squad comes in and continues to convert, so when they show up, it happens again. The defense wants to get off the field. Going up there and attempting to stop it is an extremely taxing play.

“It’s mass organization.”

According to Kubena, when putting the pieces of the “Tush Push” puzzle together, former offensive coordinator Shane Steichen discovered something that truly fit his guys. Both Sirianni and new offensive coordinator Brian Johnson have continued to have faith in this.

Kubena explains, “The pieces to this are very specific to the Eagles.” “They have a quarterback who could squat 600 pounds, a very good offensive line, and depth in the backfield that can help push.”

With players like Jordan Mailata, Lane Johnson, and Jason Kelce, the Eagles have one of the best offensive lines in the league to go along with and shield one of the league’s most athletic quarterbacks.

Alongside Hurts, star center Jason Kelce is integral to the play.

Due to the extremely small margins in sports, Philadelphia looked outside of football for guidance on how to gain the extra 1%. Enter “the Scottish guy.”

Richie Gray has spent decades working in the background in professional sports, but he was catapulted into the spotlight when Kelce brought him up on his “New Heights” podcast.

Originally invited in by the defensive room to offer assistance on rugby-specific tackling methods, offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland soon urged Gray to share his knowledge on how teams could counter the “Tush Push.”

“Coach, there is nothing you can do to stop it, it’s organized mass,” Gray remembers saying. Kelce mimicked this statement in his best Scottish accent on his podcast.

Although Gray insists that’s the case, he also credits the individuals, both on and off the field, for a large portion of the “Brotherly Shove’s” success.

According to Gray, who spoke with CNN Sport, “they have a world-class coach in Jeff Stoutland, you have some key personnel that are involved in the play and also the Eagles train it and perfect it better than anyone else.”

The advantage is always with the Eagles’ potent offensive line, as Gray notes, adding, “The key with this play is also that action will always beat reaction.”
