It wasn\u2019t lost yesterday, it was lost in March. And there might be a lot of games that the Eagles play that are lost in March, because this play is unstoppable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot only does the defense not know how to handle it, but even the officials don\u2019t know how to handle it. You\u2019re seeing the Eagles linemen jump offsides every play and nothing\u2019s called. So, the officials have no idea. Defenses have no idea and the Eagles get to do whatever they want on every single play in the tush push.
