Chiefs’ Chris Jones Blasts Eagles’ Tush Push as “Garbage,” Sends Warning to Jalen Hurts


This week, following the Eagles’ dramatic victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, the NFL community has been reignited with fierce debate over the infamous “tush push.” At the center of the storm are heated comments from Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones, who openly criticized the play’s legality and questioned the fairness of officiating.

The controversy surrounding the Philadelphia Eagles’ infamous “tush push” refuses to fade. In their Super Bowl rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Eagles once again executed the play to perfection, converting a critical one-yard touchdown. But not everyone was impressed.

Star defensive tackle Chris Jones voiced his frustrations in the postgame press conference, directly calling out what he saw as blatant infractions. “We think he jumped multiple times. An official didn’t see it, so it wasn’t called,” Jones said, arguing that Eagles guards Landon Dickerson and Tyler Steen moved early before the snap — yet no flags were thrown.

Jones didn’t stop there, doubling down on his criticism of the play itself. “You can’t get all the calls right. Just because we see it, sometimes the official is 15, 20 feet away, and they can miss those small things. The tush push is garbage, and the fact it wasn’t flagged shows how much favoritism is going on.”

His outburst highlighted the growing tension across the league. Former NFL VP of officiating Dean Blandino has also admitted he’s “done” with the play, arguing that it’s nearly impossible to officiate fairly or consistently.

The situation escalated further when hot mics caught a heated exchange between Jones and Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts after the game. While Jones vented about officiating bias, Hurts dismissed the complaints with a sharp response: “All that mattered was the win.”

The loss dropped Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs to 0-2 for the first time in his career, fueling frustration inside Kansas City’s locker room.

With the spotlight on officiating and mounting calls for reform, the NFL may soon face heightened pressure to revisit the legality of the tush push heading into the 2026 season.

Eagles Star CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Cooper DeJean is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 game , as his cousin Justin Fuller a respected military-trained skydiving instructor, died in a tragic tandem jump accident near Nashville.   Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his parachute harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending its personnel for the effort. Justin Fuller, known by the nickname "Spidey," died after a tandem skydiving jump went wrong on Oct. 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee.  (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey ) Fuller, known affectionately as “Spidey,” had completed more than 5,000 jumps and trained U.S. military personnel in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused, and committed to lifting others higher — both in life and in the air.”   DeJean —whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Dejean that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how he lives and plays today.” In the Eagles’ defensive system, DeJean has steadily earned complete trust thanks to his versatility — working outside at corner, in the slot (nickel), and on coverage units — and standing out for top-end speed, precise tackling angles, and the ability to read quarterbacks. Coaches describe him as “calm, wise beyond his years, and disciplined at the catch point,” consistently maintaining leverage and finishing clean in tight spaces. Through the first five games of 2025, DeJean has played every defensive snap and totaled 36 tackles (26 solo) with five passes defensed, reinforcing his value on the perimeter and inside.  The Philadelphia Eagles have provided time and private support for DeJean and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. An FAA investigation into the accident is underway, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in across social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans nationwide.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. DeJean kept his public remarks brief before being embraced by teammates:“He taught me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
