The Philadelphia Eagles are looking to make some extra money on their special quarterback sneak.
According to Trademark attorney Josh Gerben, the Birds filed a trademark for "TUSH PUSH" on Thursday, Dec. 14 with a plan to sell clothing, hats and more with the phrase on it.
The "Tush Push" is the Eagles' way of running a QB sneak where the offensive line comes together on short-yardage situations to push Jalen Hurts' tush for an almost guaranteed first down.
Sure, other teams have run the play, but the Eagles have been successful on over 90 percent of their attempts while the other 31 teams combine for a 70 percent success rate.
The move comes a day after the NFL held a meeting to discuss the health and safety of the rugby-style play. There have been rumors that the NFL plans to ban the Tush Push after this season, but the meeting suggested that might not be the case anymore.
Even if the play ends up permanently banned, the Eagles are going to find a way to benefit from the "Tush Push" one way or another.
