The Double Cheek Push is the Most Unstoppable Play in Football
Last night, Cris Collinsworth elegantly broke down the “Double Cheek Push” between Mike Tirico’s snorts. It’s the Eagles’ QB sneak call that they’ve run to perfection all season long:

We’ve seen different variations. Baldy called it “Rugby Scrum Middle” when they used it in Arizona:
.@Eagles bust out this new formation this week; let’s call it “Rugby Scrum Middle” and had tremendous success gaining a yard when they needed a yard. Good coaching sure helps getting you to 5-0. #FlyEaglesFly #BaldysBrealdowns pic.twitter.com/FB9NPjYbuX

Honestly, it doesn’t matter what you call it, all I know is it’s unstoppable. It’s become the most effective offensive formation since Ronnie Brown was running the Wildcat down in Miami. It’s so effective Jason Kelce will tell the defense what’s coming and the Eagles will still convert:
You can even tell the defense you’re going to sneak and it still works. Jason Kelce “you know what’s coming”

Other than that, how about Collinsworth last night? I usually don’t mind him that much, but Sunday was a Packers lovefest. You would’ve thought Aaron Rodgers was 9-1. Then the ballwashing of Jordan Love started while the Eagles were in the softest prevent defense of all time. This dude was the luckiest guy in the world:
