PHILADELPHIA -- The "tush push" is still alive and well in Philadelphia.

An electric 54-yard punt return by Britain Covey in the opening minutes of Monday's Christmas game against the New York Giants set the Eagles up deep in New York territory on their first possession to take a 7-0 lead.

A D'Andre Swift run got Philadelphia to the one-yard line, and Jalen Hurts and the offensive line took it from there, with Hurts registering his 15th rushing TD this season, the most by a quarterback in NFL history.

Hurts has now scored 18 rushing touchdowns on the "tush push" QB sneak since the start of last season, including playoffs. No one else has scored more than four such touchdowns.

Early in the second quarter, Hurts and receiver DeVonta Smith connected for a 36-yard TD to put Philly up by two scores.
