The Philadelphia Eagles make no apologies for the unstoppable play that has taken the NFL by storm.

The ‘Tush Push’ has become a staple part of the Eagles offense under head coach Nick Sirianni.

Predominantly used in short-yardage situations, the infamous play involves Eagles center Jason Kelce snapping the ball to Jalen Hurts, who drives forward with the help of extra players lined up behind him.

The move has become so successful that there have been calls for a blanket ban.

The Eagles boast the highest fourth-down conversion rate in the league, converting on 16-of-22 fourth-down attempts (72.7%).

The play is particularly effective at the goal line.

“Every time D’Andre Swift gets tackled at the one I just look at him in the huddle and I’m like, ‘I’m so sorry man, you know exactly what we’re about to do,’” Jason told Travis.

He jokingly added: “News flash go down at the two or get in the endzone!

“Don’t go down at the one because [the tush push] is 100% the next play we’re running. If you go down at the two we’ll probably run inside zone again.”

Philadelphia’s Christmas Day win over the Giants was marred somewhat by boos from the Lincoln Financial Field faithful.

Eagles fans loudly chanted “run the ball!” during a stuttering third-quarter drive.

Sirianni admitted he had heard the chants during his post-game press conference.

“I think I’d hear [the chants] even if I had a double headset on,” joked Sirianni.

“I hear ya, but sometimes you got to let Jalen [Hurts] make some calls at the line of scrimmage. So, maybe get that chant going, and then Jalen’s gotta quiet them down.”

He added:  “We call the plays we feel like we need to call in the situations we need to call it. I thought we did a really nice job of running it and passing it today.”
