Twitter reacts to the Eagles faking QB sneak to run the Brotherly Sweep vs. Commanders

Teams and experts around the NFL have been complaining for months about the Tush Push, and the sighs will likely grow louder after Philadelphia added a remix to the play.

Kudos to offensive coordinator Brian Johnson, who, with Philadelphia deep in Commanders territory and looking to run a quarterback sneak, decided to insert a play that allows the Birds to line up in the formation and then run a jet sweep to running back D’Andre Swift who took it in for a touchdown.

Teams must now prepare for the jet sweep along with the Tush Push, and social media reacted.

TD, D'Andre Swift with the Eagles adding a wrinkle to the Brotherly Shove.

Eagles take a 38-24 lead — and they turned the ball over twice inside the 10. Impressive overall performance from the offense.

Eagles will be 7-1 with Dallas visiting next week.

Nice trickery there that every team has to watch for. Eagles will have 38 points & that’s with 2 fumbles inside the 5. Many will be negative today (you have that right). My biggest takeaway is the offense is now ROLLING.
