“I’m just a mommy”: Love Island’s Huda Mustafa joins NBC to explain Eagles’ famous tush push

Huda Mustafa, known from Love Island: USA, surprised viewers on September 4, 2025, when she popped up in an NBC segment on the NFL season-opening broadcast. The network sent her a text asking her to explain the Philadelphia Eagles’ hot topic play, the “Tush Push.” She was candid, saying, “I’m not a football expert. I’m just a mommy.” Then she quipped, “But I know a good tush when I see one.” The segment aired just before the Eagles faced the Dallas Cowboys.

Huda Mustafa explains the Eagles’ tush push on NBC broadcast

In the gym-style clip, Huda Mustafa talked about the Eagles’ “Tush Push”, which is when quarterback Jalen Hurts gets pushed from behind to fight through for a short gain.

The play nearly got banned this offseason; a league vote failed by just two votes. She made fun of critics, then dropped her now-viral line: “I’m just a mommy.”NFL hosts Tony Dungy, Jason McCourty, Maria Taylor, and Rodney Harrison were left amused and surprised.

Huda Mustafa, NFL fans and tush push drama

On September 4 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, right before the Eagles battled the Cowboys, NBC aired the cheeky spot. Some fans weren’t expecting a reality-TV star, especially one famous for a dating show, to talk football. But many loved the energy. The Eagles even used the Tush Push in a defense celebration after forcing a fumble on opening night. The play itself, known as the “Brotherly Shove,” is a quarterback sneak with help from teammates pushing from behind. Since 2022, it’s become a staple of the Eagles’ offense and contributed to their wins in Super Bowl LVII and LIX. Proposals to ban it fell short with the most recent one failing in May 2025 by just two votes. Huda’s involvement added some flair, fun, and just a hint of chaos, kind of like Love Island itself.
