The Rutgers Scarlet Knights football team may have just given the Philadelphia Eagles everything they needed to become unstoppable.
Rutgers Football fell to Kansas State in a wild Rate Bowl at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona, but they certainly made their mark on the game.
During Thursday’s Rate Bowl, Rutgers lined up for what looked to be the Tush Push near the goal line.
Everybody, including Kansas State, knows what that play entails.
However, Rutgers had something else up its sleeves, and it may have given the Philadelphia Eagles insane ammo to use.
The play ended up being a diversion.
Instead of following his center’s behind into the end zone, Scarlet Knights quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis handed the ball off to Antwan Raymond, who went untouched by the Kansas State defense into the end zone for a touchdown.
I think we all know what’s about to happen in the NFL as soon as the 2025 season begins.
“This is the end of football,” one fan said.
“The tush push fake is INSANEEEEEEEE,” another fan added.
“Don’t let the Eagles see this,” a third fan added.
“Sirianni is kicking himself for not running this earlier,” a fourth X user said.
A fifth user stated:; “Do not know why this isn’t done more often.. it’s literally too easy.. that is until it’s done too much until it’s not.”
One final fan added: “Maybe the @Eagles should try this so Barkley can actually get some TDs after those 1 yard line stops 😂.”
The Philadelphia Eagles Still Have Work to Do In Week 17
The Philadelphia Eagles may look a little different on Sunday vs. the Dallas Cowboys.
Philadelphia’s road to the NFC East title is an easy one, but it still needs to be complete.
Despite a lengthy win streak that just got snapped by Washington, the Eagles still need to defeat or tie the Cowboys on Sunday or get some help from the Atlanta Falcons, who travel to Washington next Sunday night.
A Falcons win or tie would also gift the Eagles the division crown.
Their 36-33 loss to the Commanders ended their 10-game winning streak and kept the door open for Washington’s division title hopes.
Jalen Hurts exited Philadelphia’s Week 16 showdown against the Commanders early after suffering a head injury.
Hurts is still in the concussion protocol ahead of Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Week 17 for the Philadelphia Eagles just got a lot harder.
VIDEO: New Footage Surfaces Of Commanders Zach Ertz Getting Into The Face Of Eagles Head Coch Nick Sirianni After Something Was Said During Heated Handshake
Nick Sirianni and Zach Ertz (Photo via Twitter)Reports surfaced this week that Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz and Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni had to be separated from fighting.
This occurred right after Washington defeated Philadelphia in Week 16.
During postgame handshakes after the Commanders beat the Eagles 36-33, video showed Ertz and Sirianni embracing each other with a handshake, but they would soon have to be separated by Eagles security officer Dom “Big Dom” DiSandro.
Ertz went to initially shake Sirianni’s hand but, upon realizing the coach was still pissed about the outcome of the game, he opted for a high five instead.
Sirianni apparently took exception to Ertz’s gesture, which led to him saying something to him as the tight end’s back was turned.
Ertz heard it and immediately came back to confront Nick Sirianni, which inserted chief security officer Dom DiSandro into the situation as he separated the two.

We are now seeing footage of that incident:
Nick Sirianni was asked about the exchange and said, “We just say congrats like congrats, both of us say congrats to each other.”
He later called Ertz via Zoom to apologize.
As for Ertz, he told the Inquirer postgame, “I’ll let him comment on what was said. To me, we just exchanged holiday pleasantries and kept it moving.”
What Was Said Between Nick Sirianni And Zach Ertz?
Commanders tight end Zach Ertz and Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni weren’t together long, as Ertz was traded away during Sirianni’s first year as the Eagles’ coach.
Sirianni and Ertz got into an altercation during postgame handshakes, which required Eagles chief security officer Big Dom to separate them.
Sources told Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer that Nick was upset over the intensity of Ertz’s hand slap and proceeded to mock him for only having one catch in the game.
