Overview
- Philadelphia converted its signature short‑yardage shove on the opening drive of the Nov. 10 win in Green Bay, keeping the tactic in the spotlight after an offseason vote left it legal.
- The Packers avoided the shove and ran traditional quarterback sneaks with Jordan Love, converting one and drawing a 4th‑and‑1 false start that led to a punt.
- Eagles defenders mocked Green Bay with a celebratory pantomime after a late fourth‑down stop, prompting fan and social‑media ribbing of the team that pushed to outlaw the play.
- Owners previously voted 22 in favor of a ban, two short of the 24 required to change NFL rules, so the assistance remains permitted under current guidelines.
- ESPN reporting says the league office enlisted Green Bay to submit the proposal due to its public ownership, as officiating consistency—highlighted by debated false starts—fuels talk of a revised bid next offseason.
