Also consider the position of the thrust point relative to the plane’s center of gravity. Being positioned below and ahead of the CoG, the engines naturally try to push the plane around it, i.e. nose-up. Mind you, my physics ed stopped after high school (though even that much is enough to do a double-take at MAX). This looks like a much better explanation: https://www.quora.com/Where-should-the-center-of-mass-lift-and-thrust-be-on-a-jet https://www.quora.com/Where-should-the-center-of-mass-lift-a...
