Overview

• The Green Bay Packers have formally proposed banning the 'Tush Push,' a short-yardage play popularized by the Philadelphia Eagles, to the NFL's competition committee.
• The Eagles successfully converted 39 of 48 'Tush Push' attempts during the 2024 season, contributing to their Super Bowl victory.
• Critics, including Falcons coach Raheem Morris, argue the play lacks skill and should not be allowed, while supporters like Eagles coach Nick Sirianni defend it as a result of hard work and execution.
• NFL data shows zero injuries directly linked to the play, undermining health and safety arguments presented by some opponents.
• Coaches such as Todd Bowles and others believe defensive strategies, rather than rule changes, should address the play's effectiveness.
