“You’re watching fans, sports, championship games, and these iconic moments. And you’re going to treat it with great people and how you treat them, and their rush of excitement and emotions. I’ll see it,” continued the Super Bowl Lix MVP. “And all I could think about was all the hard work. All I could think about was all the effort.”

The Eagles opened up a score in Super Bowl Lix when Hurts found the end zone via the infamous “Tush Push.” Over the past few seasons, the Eagles have mastered rugby-style quarterback sneaking, known as “tash push” or “brother cuts.”

Barkley, who signed a three-year deal with the Eagles last March, admitted that he was surprised to learn that the play wasn’t called “Tush Push.”

“I didn’t know if that was what it was called, but… it wasn’t actually called ‘Tush Push’,” Barkley said. Regarding his role in “Tush Push,” Barkley said.
“To be honest, I think I do the easiest job. I’m the guy who pushes the tash…”
