Breaking down the tush push: Who can stop the Eagles, and who does short yardage best

The tush push, a popular quarterback sneak by the Eagles, remains a key play in the NFL despite a failed attempt to ban it. Teams mostly run the ball in short-yardage situations, with varying success rates. Jalen Hurts led in conversions but wasn't the best short-yardage QB. The Commanders had the highest conversion rate in 2024. The Eagles found ways to convert even when initially stopped. Five teams on the Eagles' 2025 schedule are best positioned to stop the tush push. The Rams, Giants, Vikings, Packers, and Chargers have strong defenses in short-yardage situations. The Cowboys struggled in short-yardage defense in 2024.
