The Bears and the Panthers faced off today in a fierce battle at the Soldier Field stadium. The Carolina Panthers had taken the lead at halftime, but D?Onta Foreman’s 4-yard run in the third quarter resulted in a touchdown eventually sealing the deal for the Bears. The Bears won 16 -13 in the end as the Panthers’ efforts in the last quarter went in vain!
The Bears have now registered their third win of the season and got some much-needed boost in their confidence. On the other hand, the Panthers have slumped to the bottom of the NFC South. They have recorded one of the worst performances by any team and have now lost nine of their first ten games! During the game, TNF Analyst Jason Kelce gave his insights on the tush-push play deployed by the teams in the match today.

Tush-push is a way of play in which the quarterback lines up behind the center instead of the quarterback driving ahead of himself. Two, three, four, sometimes five players jump behind the caboose of the quarterback and they push, push, and just push. Don Kleiman shared the clip from the TNF on X in which Jason Kelce discusses the same in detail!

When Jason Kelce was asked, ?Talkin about it, it’s just been used in the past sometimes. How you guys(the Eagles) have made it an art form.? He shared the details on it and said, ?Yeah! You know I mean, there is a role change that allowed pusher from behind and quarterback sneaks in, starting doing this a year ago, and we have been very successful.? He further added, ?that it?s a high percentage play for us when you run it right, when you do everything right, it?s really really hard to defend!? Jason Kelce was referring to the play in their game against the Dolphins.
The cheetah too appreciated this technique two weeks ago! When the Eagles soared over the Dolphins two weeks ago. In a game that was thoroughly dominated by the Eagles, the Dolphins lost the game 31-17. After the game, Tyreek Hill opened on the tush push technique that was used by the Eagles. The post read ?WR Tyreek Hill says the Eagles ?Tush-Push? play is ‘Very unstoppable’, after Philly used it 4 times against Miami on SNF, each time it was successful?. Hill also added ?He hopes the league doesn?t ban it because it?s a fun play to watch? and finally gave credit to the Eagles OL and Jalen Hurts for making it work.
