What is the 'Tush Push'?
The Tush Push was a modernized — or modified — version of the traditional quarterback sneak. Rather than having the quarterback run forward for a first down or touchdown, two players line up behind the quarterback to help push him forward for the needed yardage.
More often than not, the play is employed when a team needs a yard or less to pick up the first down or touchdown. It is typically called on third or fourth down.
