The officials have finally figured out how to stop the Philadelphia Eagles’ famous “Tush Push” play.
The Eagles were visiting the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field in Seattle, Wash. on “Monday Night Football” in Week 15 and had a 3rd-and-1 at the Seattle 3-yard line. The Eagles were getting ready to run a play that many figured was going to be the “Tush Push” QB sneak. But the officials threw a flag for a false start on center Jason Kelce.

The false start was called on Kelce for moving the ball forward from where it was spotted by the officials.
False starts have been at the forefront of NFL discussions lately after some surprising ones were called. You can add this one to the list.
There have been rumors that the league might try to ban the “Tush Push” in the offseason. Until that time comes, the officials can at least crack down on Kelce moving the ball forward before the snap.
