Eagles bring a passing twist to the Brotherly Shove

The Philadelphia Eagles are going to spam the rest of the NFL with the Brotherly Shove until and unless the league decides to render the play illegal based on concerns regarding safety that have no real merit. And now, as they showed on this 17-yard pass from running back Kenneth Gainwell to receiver DeVonta Smith with 32 seconds left in the first half against the Arizona Cardinals, the Eagles are starting to grow different concepts out of their favorite scrum.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts pitched to Gainwell with the tush-push fake, and Gainwell caught the Cardinals napping downfield. Given the issues the Eagles have had on offense this season, perhaps a full Brotherly Shove package would do a world of good to turn things around.
