The NFL may have finally figured out for the Philadelphia Eagles' Tush Push.
For the second time this season, an opposing defense attacked the ball on the Tush Push with stunning results.
After forcing a Chicago turnover at the Bears' 36 in the third quarter, the Eagles, trailing 10-9, faced a third-and 1 at the Bears' 12. The Eagles got into Tush Push formation, and quarterback Jalen Hurts pushed forward. Chicago cornerback Nahshon Wright went to the side of the pile and pulled the ball out Hurts' arms.

It's the second time this season Hurts was stripped on a Tush Push.
When the Eagles beat the New York Giants on Oct. 26, Giants linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux moved to the side of the Tush Push pile and stripped the ball from Hurts. The referees ruled the play dead, and the turnover was nullified, but it gave the template to stop the unstoppable play.
