Ping!...............
So many false starts when this play is run as well I’ve seen.
Every fumbled ball, close play or unbelievable call will have people saying it’s gambling influenced.
Like the new kickoff rules, the tush push in no good..
The play does NOT stop after the QB made the First Down.
The play stops after a Referee blows the whistle on lack of forward motion.
If the whistle blew BEFORE the fumble, then the call is correct.
If the whistle did NOT blow, then it is a fumble.
Nonsense and so what?
An allegedly blown call on a fumble is no reason to ban a play. The league already ruled on this before the season
In most cases they don’t really push him, the entire team surges forward and this quarterback has the most powerful legs at that position.
And I’m no fan of the quarterback.
Sounds ghey.

Did the whistle blow before the ball was stripped?
If not, they made a bad call...
These games are fixed anyway. The NBA is just the tip of the iceberg.
Next time the NFL steals something from rugby, try something that is not boring. Watching a mass of humanity crammed together and mindlessly pushing reminded me of the sidewalks in Manhattan the only time I was there during the holidays.
From the “beginnings of football”: “tush push” is essentially a scrum action, i.e. something from rugby! Even though they likely didn’t get the idea from rugby.
Fumble.
Another factor has been the false starts that are not being called. It appears that there is such a quick pile of bodies that it’s difficult for the refs to see the ball, or discern when the ball is snapped. False Starts are not a challengeable call, apparently, not are they reviewed by replay officials.
