Vikings failed to execute the Tush Push. Why was receiver Brandon Powell out there?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:08:48 GMT

CINCINNATI — The criticism spread like wildfire on social media shortly after the Vikings suffered a 27-24 loss to the Bengals on Saturday afternoon at Paycor Stadium.Only needing a few inches to convert for a first down, the Vikings dialed up the Tush Push in the biggest moment of the game.It’s a short yardage play that has caught on across the NFL in part because of how successfully the Philadelphia Eagles have run it with quarterback Jalen Hurts. The logistics feature Hurts taking a snap under center, then falling forward while a few teammates push him from behind. It’s virtually unstoppable if run with the right personnel.Which plays into the Vikings running the Tush Push against the Bengals. On back-to-back plays in overtime, the Vikings had quarterback Nick Mullens take a snap under center, with receiver Brandon Powell motioning across the formation at the last moment to push him from behind.The main issue is the fact that Powell and his 5-foot-8, 180-pound f...
