49ers’ Fred Warner Stopped Vikings’ Tush Push With Clever Play, and Fans Were Impressed

The Vikings proved Monday that not every team is capable of running the Tush Push as successfully as the Eagles. 49ers linebacker Fred Warner also proved that there is a viable way to stop the controversial quarterback sneak play. 

When Kirk Cousins attempted to rush the ball over the goal line with an assisted shove from his teammates, Warner was all over it.

Warner took a page out of Troy Polamalu’s book as he caught the entire Vikings offense off guard and timed up a perfect leap over the line, crashing directly into Cousins and foiling his attempted sneak. 

His big stop on defense prevented Minnesota from getting into the end zone, and the Vikings ended up settling for a field goal on the drive. 

Warner’s remarkable individual effort on defense did not go unnoticed by fans, who praised him for emphatically stopping the Tush Push.
