Eagles Unleash Crazy “Pushing”! Giants Fans Cheer — This Is Not Football, It’s Gym Class!
East Rutherford, NJ — October 10, 2025 — The Philadelphia Eagles turned Thursday Night Football into a wrestling match, unleashing their infamous punt to get past the New York Giants defense. But in the Giants’ surprising 34-17 loss at MetLife Stadium, the Eagles’ quarterbacks’ constant sneaky punts sparked outrage, with fans shouting, “This isn’t football—it’s gym class!”
Eagles’ Dominance in Pushing the Ball
Midway through the second quarter, with the score tied 13-13, Jalen Hurts and the Eagles unleashed four consecutive punts—a quarterback sneak followed by a touchdown from the offensive linemen—to flatten the end zone. The sequence gave Philly a 16-13 lead, but the Giants defenders, led by Brian Burns, looked dazed, as if they were stuck in a football scrum.
Referee Mistakes Spark Outrage
Tush's second push caused chaos when Eagles offensive lineman Tyler Steen appeared to have a false start, but the referee waved it off. Giants fans flooded the X with clips, chanting, "That's not football!" The lack of a penalty allowed Philly to maintain momentum, but it only deepened the controversy surrounding the play's dominance.
Philly’s Near-Perfect Play
The Eagles’ Tush Push is a powerful push, boasting a 96.6% success rate (28 of 29 throws) before 2025. It’s a short-range cheat code that turns third-and-one throws into sure-fire scoring plays. “It’s unfair—teams prepare all week, and it still works,” an anonymous coach told The Athletic. “The NFL needs to ban it before it ruins the game.”
Giants Growl Back
Although Philly temporarily took the lead, the Giants, with 195 yards from Jaxson Dart and three touchdowns from Cam Skattebo, completely dominated the game in a 34-17 victory. However, the Tush Push tactic has caused a stir, with fans and analysts debating its place in football. Is it a brilliant tactic or a game-breaking gimmick?
NFL Faces a Crossroads
Can the Tush Push Strategy Survive? With the Eagles facing the Vikings in Week 7 and a rematch with the Giants in Week 8, the dominance of the tactic – and the controversy surrounding it – is unlikely to wane. Giants fans want football, not weightlifting. The NFL must decide: is it an innovation or a threat to the soul of the sport?
