Overview

  • NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is reportedly considering a ban on the 'Tush Push', a controversial play strategy used by the Philadelphia Eagles.
  • The 'Tush Push', also known as the 'Brotherly Shove', involves a rugby-like scrum that pushes the quarterback from behind, often resulting in a first down or touchdown.
  • The Eagles have been particularly successful with this strategy, leading the NFL with a 73.7 percent fourth-down conversion rate this season.
  • Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce has expressed indifference about the potential ban, stating that the team will adapt regardless of the decision.
  • Alternative strategies suggested for teams include the fullback dive, the jet sweep, and the traditional quarterback sneak.
