Micah Parsons saw more than enough.
The Packers star watched the Eagles run their infamous “Tush Push” on four straight plays, resulting in a Jalen Hurts touchdown in the second quarter of Thursday’s 34-17 Giants win.
“This is not football!” Parsons wrote on X, adding a pair of trash emoji for emphasis.

The Green Bay pass rusher — who previously starred for rival Dallas — is far from alone in his criticism of the play, which drew a cascade of boos from the MetLife Stadium crowd.
The Tush Push — in which offensive players literally attempt to push the quarterback over the line with the ball — has been a point of contention in the NFL in recent seasons, with a vote to outlaw the play coming up two votes short at the owners’ meeting in May.

It also led to a predictable outcome — Hurts’ fifth rushing TD of the season through six games — being as close to a sure thing as an NFL play can be, another point of contention from those watching.
“This is why tush push needs to be banned. Football is supposed to be entertainment,” Barstool Sports honcho Dave Portnoy wrote on X. “This ruins the game. No different than changing pass interference rules for more scoring. Nobody wants to watch this s–t.”
The Eagles, who rode the play to a 2025 Super Bowl win over the Chiefs, don’t seem to care.
