In the NFC Championship Game, the Washington Commanders faced the Philadelphia Eagles, resulting in a heavy 55-23 loss. Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu tried to disrupt the Eagles' 'tush push' formation but was penalized for diving over the line. This action, seen as symbolic of the team's desperate mindset, led to warnings from officials that continued violations could result in an automatic score for the Eagles, highlighting the fine line teams walk in preventing opponent scoring versus maintaining game integrity within NFL rules.
Luvu was flagged for diving over the line while the Eagles lined up in their tush push formation at the 2-yard line.
According to the NFL rule book, Hochuli can do just that. The rule states that a player "shall not interfere with play by any act which is palpably unfair."
