Eagles' repeated tush push draws criticism after unpenalized false starts and a player injury, sparking calls for rule change.

On October 10, 2025, the Philadelphia Eagles faced backlash for running the tush push four times in a row against the New York Giants, scoring a touchdown despite apparent false starts by their guards that officials did not call. Fans, analysts, and broadcasters criticized the lack of enforcement, with some calling the play unfair and potentially dangerous after a Giants player sustained a knee injury. The controversy has intensified debate over NFL officiating consistency and player safety, with 22 of 32 teams supporting a ban, raising the possibility of a rule change.
