Social media reacts to Fred Warner stopping the Vikings’ Tush Push

Whether you love the Tush Push or Brotherly Shove — the short-yardage scrum that the Philadelphia Eagles have on lock, and most other offenses do not — the best way to stop it is not to ban it, but to actually, y’know, stop it.

Which San Francisco 49ers linebacker did on Monday night when the Minnesota Vikings tried it. Warner, who is the NFL’s best player at his position and an athletic freak in about 20 different ways, hurtled the Vikings’ line without touching any linemen on the way (thus making it legal), and put the kibosh on the whole thing.

It was an amazing performance.

Twitter had a lot to say about it, as you might expect.
