Eagles Beat Giants 38–20 After Nonreviewable Tush Push

In Week 8 the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the New York Giants 38–20 in a game highlighted by a controversial fourth-and-1 “tush push” in the second quarter. On that play Giants linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux appeared to strip quarterback Jalen Hurts and recover a fumble, but officials ruled Hurts’ forward progress had been stopped; the whistle rendered the play nonreviewable and New York’s challenge failed. Two plays later the Eagles scored on a Hurts-to-Saquon Barkley touchdown, a score that shifted momentum. Broadcasters, rules analysts and fans criticized the officiating, and the game also featured other disputed calls, notably a nullified 68-yard Darius Slayton touchdown ruled offensive pass interference. The sequence has intensified calls to revisit rules or enforcement around the tush push.
