Overview
- Matt LaFleur declined to revisit the spring rule fight, saying the NFL made its decision and his team must find a way to stop the quarterback-push play.
- LaFleur framed prevention as the counter, stressing Green Bay must keep Philadelphia out of short-yardage situations and declining to detail specific tactics before Monday night.
- ESPN Research reports the Eagles are 76.5% on 21 tush-push attempts over their first eight games, down from success rates reported in prior seasons.
- Forbes, citing the AP, previously noted a 96.6% success figure heading into this season, underscoring conflicting assessments of the play’s effectiveness.
- Green Bay helped lead the failed ban push on safety grounds under former president Mark Murphy, and while the Packers went 4-for-5 on the play in 2023 with Jordan Love, they have avoided it over the past season and a half.
