Philadelphia's "Brotherly Shove" is as close to a guaranteed thing as there is in football.
The Eagles ran it to a 93.5% success rate in 2022 and maintained a rate of better than 90% for the 2023 season entering Monday's playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But there, at a critical juncture, it failed. It was a sign of things to come in a 32-9 Bucs win.
After a slow start, Philadelphia's offense woke up late in the second quarter with a 55-yard pass from Jalen Hurts to DeVonta Smith that set up its first touchdown of the day.
