The best way to stop a seemingly unstoppable play is to avoid it entirely. Few can figure out the Philadelphia Eagles’ “Tush Push,” their short-yardage rugby scrum that converts roughly 90 percent of the time. When they need a yard on 3rd and 1, you might as well move the sticks before the ball even snaps. While Mike Tomlin has some actual advice on how to stop the play, he knows the best thing to do is work to steer clear of the moment in the first place.
“And so the bottom line from a defensive perspective is that you better stay out of those circumstances,” Tomlin told Steelers.
