Dungey, who coached Indianapolis Colts to the Super Bowl title, cited the controversial push-push play call in the Philadelphia Eagles' 38-20 Week 8 victory over the New York Giants. The judges signaled progress.
Giants pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeau knocked the ball out of the hands of the Eagles quarterback. Jalen Hurts. Thibodeau came off the turf with the ball, but the referees ruled that the quarterback's forward progress had stopped, meaning there was no change of possession.

The NFL has an expedited review system designed to quickly correct clear and obvious errors.
“The NFL needs to get rid of these categories that are 'not renegotiable!' You can't have New York jumping in and changing the game saying, “The expedited review told us…” and then have obvious misses that remain unchanged. This is precisely why the review process was introduced. We had a couple in our game with GB and Pitt and it was terrible. When you change some obvious moves and not others, you create a trust problem, and that's what we have now.” Dungy wrote on X.
