The Eagles actually committed a turnover on the ‘Brotherly Shove’ and NFL fans had jokes

Eagles NFL

There’s no denying that there is something special about the “Brotherly Shove” or “tush push” from the Eagles. Every player on the field knows what play is coming — it’s not a secret — and the Eagles still successfully convert with it. Some teams even want the NFL to ban the play.

Well, in Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders, the unthinkable happened: The Eagles not only failed on the Brotherly Shove but they also fumbled the ball away.

With the Eagles lining up for their signature play on first down from the one-yard line, Jalen Hurts lost hold of the ball as he was pushing forward for the end zone.

Kendall Fuller came up with the football, and the Commanders took over. They just couldn’t take advantage on offense and later punted.

This was how Twitter reacted
