NFL Orders Tighter Calls on Eagles’ Tush Push as Next Offseason Ban Vote Remains Uncertain

With the spring vote two short and the proposal’s sponsor retired, enforcement has become the pivot point.

Overview

  • An NFL training tape sent to clubs flagged at least one Eagles false start against the Chiefs and instructed officials to call the play "tight," according to officiating trainer Ramon George.
  • Philadelphia used the short‑yardage sneak multiple times in its 20-17 win at Kansas City, including a fourth‑quarter Jalen Hurts touchdown that replays suggested began early.
  • ESPN reports there is no assurance owners will even consider a ban this offseason, noting Green Bay’s Mark Murphy authored the failed proposal before retiring and a new sponsor would be needed.
  • League executives and a head coach told reporters that if referees cannot officiate the play consistently, that could increase the chances of a post‑season ban, though no decision has been made.
  • Nick Sirianni says the Eagles will keep coaching the play the same within the rules, while Jason Kelce predicts it will be eliminated and Joe Buck publicly defended keeping it.
