Eagles fans troll Chiefs for removing Patrick Mahomes to copy Jalen Hurts' 'brotherly shove' move

Philadelphia Eagles fans might have seen Jalen Hurts be defeated by Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in last year's Super Bowl, but there is one thing that they do better than anyone else in the NFL.

The 'brotherly shove' move has become a staple of their offense, especially on short conversions. It involves the quarterback taking the snap and then the entire offense pushing through to gain the yardage as one would with a rugby union scrum.

It has been widely successful and teams have not found a way to stop it for the last two seasons. And when something works well, other teams try to replicate it in the NFL.

That includes Andy Reid, who has achieved so much in the league, including two rings with the Kansas City Chiefs. Instead of using his quarterback, on a fourth-and-short in the red zone, he brought his field goal unit on. As Patrick Mahomes went off the field, everyone was expecting a three-point attempt.

Instead, they attempted to shove their way through to pick up a first down that would have given them a first-and-goal situation. But they could not do what Jalen Hurts does with the Philadelphia Eagles and ended up turning the ball over on downs.

Eagles fans could not help but gloat at the failure of the play. They clowned the Chiefs by saying that everyone was initially against the scheme but is now copying it and failing.

Here are some of the best reactions on X, formerly Twitter:

Andy Reid booed for taking off Patrick Mahomes

As Andy Reid removed Patrick Mahomes to bring on the field goal unit on a fourth-and-short in the red zone, Chiefs fans were not happy. With Travis Kelce available, and Taylor Swift in attendance, it seemed that the Kansas City faithful wanted their offense to go for it.

Interestingly, Reid had faced this same situation against the Carolina Panthers when he was head coach in Philadelphia.

While he was looking to copy Jalen Hurts' experience with the Eagles, Andy Reid instead ended up copying his own move from a decade back by removing Patrick Mahomes.
