Eagles, NFL and Tush Push
Digest more
The Eagles came out on top by the slimmest of margins, a 22-10 tally that doubles as the final score of the Birds' win over the Green Bay Packers in the NFC's Wild Card Round. Twenty-four opposing votes were needed for a ban. The next question is obvious. Who sided with the Birds?
A proposal to ban the tush push, a play popularized by the Philadelphia Eagles, failed to pass at an NFL spring meeting Wednesday in Eagan, Minn.
Despite lots of expectations that the NFL would ban the Tush Push, the Philadelphia Eagles and other teams will be happy to see it live on.
If the tush push is banned, Hurts and the Eagles will lose their biggest short-yardage weapon in 2025. According to Jay Morrison of SI.com, Hurts has scored 33 of his 55 rushing touchdowns from one-yard out, which is the most by any quarterback in league history. Most of them have been on the tush push.
