Overview

• NFL owners voted 22-10 against a proposal to ban the Eagles' 'Tush Push' play, falling two votes short of the 24 needed for a rule change.
• Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and center Jason Kelce played key roles in defending the play, with Kelce addressing misconceptions at the owners' meeting.
• Commissioner Roger Goodell announced plans to monitor the play in the 2025 season and revisit the ban discussion next year, citing ongoing safety and fairness concerns.
• The Eagles celebrated the decision with social media campaigns and merchandise featuring the phrase 'Push On,' though trademark disputes prevent the use of 'Tush Push' on official products.
• Critics argue the play undermines competitive fairness, while Eagles players like Saquon Barkley dismissed attempts to ban it as 'soft' and pointed to the team's unique skillset as the reason for its success.
