San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh made his feelings clear on the Philadelphia Eagles’ infamous “tush push” this week, and his stance is going to light up plenty of fans ahead of the matchup.

As the No. 3 seed in the NFC, they will host the San Francisco 49ers in the wild card round next week. The 49ers are a tougher matchup than the Green Bay Packers, who the Eagles would have faced if they beat the Commanders.
