Trevor Lawrence's injury didn't outshine this cool play some are calling the 'Duval dunk'

X, the former Twitter, is swirling with football fan discussions after the Jacksonville Jaguars’ first appearance under the Monday Night Football primetime lights in more than 10 years.

In one of the closest and most exciting games of the NFL’s 2023 season, there were a handful of interesting plays, plenty of banter on the field and multiple injuries.

And one question that’s bubbling up among fans’ comments on the loss and quarterback Trevor Lawrence’s ankle injury, is if the Jags will be the next home of the “tush push.”

In case you don’t know, the Philadelphia Eagles' “tush push,” sometimes called the “brotherly shove,” recently became one of the most controversial plays in football because it's pretty unorthodox. Some argue that it should be against the rules because other offensive players actually give a shove to the ball carrier to get him across the line to gain for first downs, or the goal line for touchdowns.

Jacksonville’s “Duval dunk” isn’t as controversial and wasn’t given a name until their Monday night game against the Cincinnati Bengals, when some Twitter users compared the play (that seems to be one of Lawrence’s favorites) to the tush push.

Here’s an explanation of the “Duval dunk” and a few other, more well-known football slang phrases.

What is Trevor Lawrence’s 'Duval dunk' or the 'Lawrence leap'?

The Duval dunk is unique to Jacksonville because it plays on the physical abilities of the team, like the tush push. The Eagles are consistently successful with the tush push, while other teams fail to replicate it.

The Duval dunk is something that would be hard for another team to replicate, because it takes advantage of Trevor Lawrence’s height, 6-foot-6, meaning it may be much tougher to accomplish with the Jags’ second string quarterback. C.J. Beathard is "only" 6-2. Lawrence's height helps him stretch across the goal line when he leaps over the line of scrimmage to “dunk” the ball into the end zone.

What does tush push mean?

In a tush push play, the team whose offense has possession of the ball crowds behind the quarterback to literally push him, with the ball, through the opposing team’s defense. This pushing of the backside is typically done to the quarterback after he takes the ball from the center at the start of the play. It's used to make a short gain when needed.

The tush push works best for the Philadelphia Eagles and quarterback Jalen Hurts, and has NFL critics questioning if it should be labeled as cheating and banned from the game.

What is the meaning of the red zone?

In life, red is usually associated with stop signs and warnings. But in football, there’s no better place for an offense to start a play than the red zone.

“The red zone” refers to the area where the most field goals and touchdowns are scored – the area of the field inside the opposing team’s 20-yard line. The invention of this slang phrase is credited to former Washington coach Joe Gibbs, who first publicly used the phrase in the 1980s.

NFL Redzone is also a premium-pay TV channel, where all of the NFL games for the day are broadcast for seven hours every Sunday afternoon. It shows every game in real time that has an offense in the opposing team's red zone, and therefore a threat to score an imminent touchdown.

Is a pick 6 a touchdown?

Yes, a “pick 6” is used to describe a touchdown that was made by the defense, or the team that didn’t possess the ball at the beginning of the play. In a pick 6, a forward pass by the offense is intercepted, or "picked off," by the opposing team’s defense which then runs that interception into the end zone for a touchdown. The “6” is for the six points scored on a touchdown.

Every pick 6 is a touchdown but not every touchdown is a pick 6. You can also use the terms “pick,” “picked” or "picked off" to describe an interception.

It’s just easier to say a team scored on a pick 6 than to describe who intercepted the ball and returned it for a touchdown.
