Packers’ Micah Parsons sounds off at former division rival Eagles over viral tush push play
He wasn’t having it.
Even though Micah Parsons is no longer in the NFC East, he still had plenty to say when watching two of his former division rivals face off in a primetime matchup on Thursday night.
In the second quarter of the game, the Eagles relied on a play they have become very well known for, running it four times in a row in the red zone. Philadelphia was faced with a 3rd-and-short, attempting the tush push, but couldn’t get across the line. The offense stayed on the field for 4th-and-short, running the tush push again, but this time getting the first down. Then, to get into the end zone, they ran the tush push two more times to get seven points on the board.
While the Eagles clearly love this play, others across the league aren’t as happy with it. And that includes the fanbases, too.
Following the four straight tush push plays, Parsons voiced his opinions on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“This is not football!” he wrote, including two trash can emojis.
The Eagles then went on to post all four of the plays on their social media account.
Micah Parsons’ new team is the ones who tried to get the tush push banned
Earlier this year, the Green Bay Packers attempted to get the Tush Push banned during the spring meetings, needing at least 24 of the 32 NFL teams to vote in their favor.
Instead, they only got 22 votes, as 10 teams sided with the Eagles, including the Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, New York Jets, and Tennessee Titans.
And it makes sense that Parsons isn’t a fan, considering he had to go up against it twice a year when he was with the Cowboys. So now it’s fitting that he was traded to the team that tried to get rid of it.
