The tush push was a topic at Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni’s postgame press conference on Sunday, but false starts had nothing to do with it this week.

The Eagles ran a couple of variations on their quarterback sneak in the 31-25 win over the Buccaneers. One saw Jalen Hurts toss an underhand pass to tight end Dallas Goedert for a touchdown and the other saw Hurts hand the ball to Saquon Barkley for an easy touchdown run.

After the game, Sirianni declined to say who drew up those plays but said they showed why “it’s an exciting play.” He also referenced the effort to ban the play by saying he saw a commercial during the Dublin game about the tush push and saying that supports his belief that people are fond of it.

“People like this play, I don’t really know what to say,” Sirianni said.
