Jerry Jones Reveals 'Tush Push' Stance Ahead of Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles Showdown
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em?
While the rest of the NFL tries to figure out how to stop the Eagles' unstoppable "Brotherly Shove" quarterback sneak - or, in the case of commissioner Roger Goodell, contemplates banning it - rival owner Jerry Jones says he has no problems with the controversial play.
"I haven't talked to Roger, but to me it's not a problem," Jones said this week ahead of Sunday night's NFC East showdown at AT&T Stadium. "We've simply got to do a better job against it. It's all about leverage and strength and Jalen Hurts knowing where to find the cracks and holes. It's the art of the deal. But these things, plays like this, are usually cyclical. The defense will catch up and ultimately I see the play being plugged up."

Jones, surprisingly, was also complimentary about Eagles' coach Nick Sirianni and general manager Howie Roseman.
"They're making decisions at a very high level and putting together some really fine football teams," he said. "They found a quarterback (Carson Wentz) and it didn't work out, but they turned around and got it right. That's hard to recover when you zig and then have to pull it back and zag."
Jones, of course, is also giddy at the thought of revenge for the early-season loss in Philly and taking over the lead in the NFC East.
Said the owner, "I can't tell you how much I'd like to beat them Sunday."
The Cowboys and Eagles will kickoff at 8:20 p.m. ET on Sunday from AT&T Stadium.
