Overview

• Twenty-two owners backed a proposal to outlaw the Tush Push but missed the three-quarters majority by two votes, preserving the play for 2025.
• Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and former center Jason Kelce led a late lobbying push that swayed undecided owners to uphold the tactic.
• Philadelphia has converted the Tush Push at a 91.3% rate since 2022, and the Bills used it more than any team outside of the Eagles last season.
• Hall of Famer Tony Dungy and others criticized the play as unfair and potentially unsafe despite the absence of data linking it to higher injury rates.
• Denver is already developing countermeasures—such as the “Bonitto Bounce”—to blunt the Tush Push when it faces the Eagles in Week 5.
