The Philadelphia Eagles have revealed the limited edition field they’ll play on in Sunday’s meeting with the Miami Dolphins at Lincoln Financial Field. With it being Kelly Green night, the Eagles are turning back the clock on the midfield logo as well.
The “Eagles” text in the end zone is also a different font than usual. Philly’s slick Kelly Green jerseys will draw all the attention, but the Eagles are making sure the entire stadium is keeping true to the theme on a special night. OCT. 19 MORE RIVAL SUPPORT FOR EAGLES’ “TUSH PUSH” – Though they failed to duplicate its success, the Dallas Cowboys continue to be in favor of the Eagles’ signature “Tush Push.” Earlier this season, start linebacker Micah Parsons said he liked the play and admitted the onus was on defenses to stop it. In last Monday night’s win over the Chargers, the Cowboys tried the play but quarterback Dak Prescott was stuffed on 4th-and-1. Joked Prescott, “They didn’t push my tush enough.” In his weekly radio appearance in Dallas this week, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones supported the play perfected by Philly. “I’m all for it,” Jones said. “I like the play. I completely agree with that’s the play to run.” The play has been a controversial one, with some teams said to be in favor of banning the play. It’s akin to a rugby scrum, and there are concerns about injuries to the quarterback, in particular. Jones is not in that camp. “I think there’s a place for the play, and I think you’ve got some options to run off of it,” he said. “You can talk about the injury to the quarterback, but you can do the tush push with somebody other than the starting quarterback under center.”
