Overview

  • NFL owners voted 22-10 against banning the 'Tush Push,' falling short of the 24 votes required to outlaw the play for the 2025 season.
  • The Philadelphia Eagles, led by Jalen Hurts and Nick Sirianni, have mastered the rugby-style quarterback sneak, leveraging their offensive line's strength and Hurts' physicality.
  • Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and center Jason Kelce played key roles in lobbying against the ban, with Kelce addressing misconceptions at the owners' meeting.
  • The Eagles are selling 'Push On' merchandise instead of using the term 'Tush Push,' as a Hummelstown resident filed for the trademark before the team.
  • Eagles running back Saquon Barkley criticized proponents of the ban as 'soft' and suggested that NFC East rivals pushed for the measure due to their frequent matchups with Philadelphia.
