For The Win
When the Eagles line up within two yards of the goal line, the entire stadium knows what play is coming … the Tush Push (or Brotherly Shove). It’s a play that was virtually unstoppable in Jason Kelce’s days as Eagles center, but has remained awfully effective in the post-Kelce era.
So, with the Commanders facing an obvious Tush Push situation, they got creative in an attempt to stop it. Hoping to time up the snap, Frankie Luvu tried to jump over the line with no consideration to the encroachment penalty that would follow. After all, it’s just half the distance to the goal.
But with the officials catching on to the antics, they actually resorted to warning the Commanders that they could just award the Eagles a touchdown if the penalties continued. I mean, look at this:

Luvu went flying there … way before the snap.
The effort made for some epic entertainment value even if it was all for naught — the Eagles scored after three encroachment penalties.
At the very least, though, we got a great meme out of the moment.
