Overview

• NFL owners voted 22-10 in favor of banning the Tush Push, falling short of the 24 votes needed to enact the rule change.
• The Green Bay Packers proposed the ban, citing concerns over player safety and the play's perceived lack of skill, but failed to garner sufficient support.
• The Philadelphia Eagles, who have perfected the play with a 90% success rate in short-yardage situations, celebrated the decision with a 'Push On' post on social media.
• Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and retired center Jason Kelce lobbied against the ban during the meetings, emphasizing the lack of injury data and the team's skill in executing the play.
• Despite the vote, the debate over the play's legality and its potential future ban is expected to continue in upcoming seasons.
