In the second quarter of a tie game between the Giants and Eagles, Kayvon Thibodeaux clearly strips the ball from Jalen Hurts before the whistle is blown on a tush push play. After the play the officials determine his forward progress was stopped and awarded the Eagles a first down. This is the most egregious officiating blunder to date of this controversial play and likely the final nail in the coffin for the tush push. Im most other cases the major issues is a false start that is in question. In this case the officials retroactively decide that Hurts' forward progress was stopped even though the whistle had not been blown. In addition, Hurts was clearly still moving forward, and Dallas Goedert was still pushing him. This is the first case where the players pushing the QB are contributing to the controversy and the inability of the referees to effectively call this play fairly. It's time to do away with this play as it it appears it cannot be officiated with any consistency or coherence.
