The Philadelphia Eagles are taking on the New York Giants tomorrow night.
The tush push has become a highly controversial, and successful, play where the quarterback is pushed forward by the team's offensive linemen in order to gain yardage.
While critics of the play argue that the play suffers from a risk of rule violations and a greater potential of a false start, others offer that the innovative plays reward is worth the risk.
Stay tuned for our data about the tush push coming soon...
