The Eagles’ “Brotherly Shove” sneak play continues to be the talk of the NFL world. And while there’s plenty of controversy regarding the play’s future, NFL Films' cameras got an inside look at the play thanks to Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert being mic’d up.

The play in question came on the goal line during Week 7’s Sunday Night Football game against the Dolphins, when the Eagles shoved Jalen Hurts into the end zone for a touchdown. Goedert, who sets up behind Hurts on the play to provide an extra push into the end zone, can be heard going back and forth with Dolphins star defensive lineman Christian Wilkins during the play.

Initially, the Dolphins seemed to have stopped Hurts in his tracks, causing Wilkins to yell “nope!” But the push from Goedert and the rest of the Eagles got Hurts over the goal line, and Goedert had no choice but to respond.

“You say no? All day baby. You know that!” Goedert said.

Goedert then returned to the sideline and told the Eagles coaching staff that he “got a mean push right there” before going to celebrate with his teammates. That even included some barking with center Jason Kelce.

Naturally, Eagles fans loved it.

As frustrating as the play seems to be for the rest of the NFL, the Eagles seem to be having fun with it.
