The NFL world is buzzing after the Packers’ proposal to ban the ‘Tush Push’ only received 22 of the necessary 24 votes to ban the Eagles’ short-yardage play
For one day, all was right in the world after Green Bay’s proposal to ban the ‘Tush Push’ failed with a resounding 22-10 vote. The Packers took their pettiness to a new level, amending their proposal on Philadelphia’s short-yardage play while ensuring it would impact all 32 teams. Green Bay submitted a revised proposal to ban the tush push play ahead of the spring meetings, and NFL owners did not vote in their favor.
The Eagles came under scrutiny for utilizing a standard quarterback sneak that incorporates lining up two players behind Jalen Hurts, who receives the snap, uses his powerful legs (600-pound squat), with the potential push of his two fellow Eagles from behind, attempts to gain the necessary yardage for a fresh set of downs or a touchdown.
The play has been so incredibly effective for Philadelphia that Hurts finished in a tie for the fifth-most rushing touchdowns (14) in 2024, and he’s halfway to 100 (55 rushing scores) after just four whole years as a starter.
With the news now official, we’re looking at reaction from around the NFL.
