tush push

Short-yardage dive

Tush push is an American football play where teammates push the ball carrier forward from behind, typically on short-yardage situations near the goal line.

The Philadelphia Eagles popularized the play with quarterback Jalen Hurts, making it nearly unstoppable in the early 2020s: They ran the tush push for the touchdown.

Tush is a mild, almost childish word for buttocks.
