    On one hand, it always feels like a guaranteed first down or touchdown when the Eagles do it. On the other hand, other teams have tried to replicate it but with far less success.

      The Chiefs stopped it twice in the AFC Championships.

      The play shouldn’t be illegal. Teams just need to do a better job defending it.
