Sunday in the NFL brought all the usual excitement—but also a little “oops” for the Giants. And this time, it wasn’t just any play—it was the infamous Eagles’ “Tush Push”! Yes, that signature play that makes everyone scratch their heads from time to time.
On 4th and 1, Jalen Hurts clearly fumbled the ball, and Giants linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux ripped it from him while Hurts was still moving forward. But alas! The referees suddenly blew the whistle, even though no mic picked up a sound. Replay clearly showed Hurts was still pushing ahead.

Giants coach Brian Daboll was understandably furious. He wanted to challenge the play, but rules didn’t allow it. Still, he threw the flag anyway—and ended up losing a timeout and the chance for a review. As a result, the Eagles easily got a first down and scored a touchdown just two plays later, leaving the Giants trailing 21-10 at halftime.

Fans in the stadium were probably laughing, because the comedy here was undeniable. The Giants players may have been trying to secure the ball, but the referee’s sudden “dead whistle magic” changed everything. Meanwhile, fans on social media immediately jumped in to create memes and jokes.
The bigger point is, the “Tush Push” has sparked controversy many times before. And when referees make it even more dramatic, the Giants’ luck seems to take a hit—pushed backward while trying to move forward. After the game, the coach and players were probably thinking, “Do we really have to fall victim to referee magic again?”
In the end, the Eagles scored and pulled ahead, leaving the Giants to watch helplessly as the play unfolded. But events like these don’t just happen on the field—they fuel social media memes too. For the Giants, it was yet another painful “Tush Push” moment.
