Ref threatens Commanders with touchdown rule after three insane penalties

But it probably made the rules clear.

Philadelphia tried that exaggerated Tash push first and failed, but Jonathan Allen was called for offsides.

The Eagles quickly lined up in formation and tried to push Tash again, but were stuffed.

At that time, the commander turned the game into a circus.
