Broncos' Sean Payton defends Tush Push ahead of matchup against Eagles, endorses 'safest play in football'

  • Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton defended the 'Tush Push' quarterback sneak, reaffirming his support during the NFL's offseason debate this spring.
  • The NFL debated banning the play over concerns about health, safety, and officiating, but the proposal failed to receive the necessary 24 votes from team owners to pass.
  • Payton described the 'Tush Push' as a well-run quarterback sneak with a clean line of scrimmage, criticizing aesthetic and competitive objections.
  • The Philadelphia Eagles regularly use the play near the goal line, recently scoring a touchdown on a fake 'Tush Push' with Saquon Barkley walking into the end zone.
  • The debate will continue after the season as teams and officials adjust, with the play remaining a significant part of short-yardage strategies.
