The NFL is a copycat league, so of course it makes sense that every team is trying to replicate the Philadelphia Eagles' infamous Tush Push.
The Kansas City Chiefs tried to pull it off against the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football and they put their own spin on it by using the play on a field goal attempt from the Broncos 4.
It was a 4th and 2, so there was a decent distance to go, but what was most surprising about the decision is the fact Denver had its field goal block unit on the field. Meaning, the majority of players were big guys who can generate a good push upfront.
It's not the ideal front to try and run the Tush Push against, even if it were by surprise a la the Chiefs' fake:
Noah Gray isn't the most ideal candidate to try and sneak the ball across the line, either. It was a strange decision, all-around, and it now has the Chiefs sitting 0-for-3 when entering the red zone.
