Tush push survives for 2025 NFL season after league fails to approve Packers' proposal to ban the play [View all]

EAGAN, Minn. — After months of attacks and two attempted bans, the tush push will survive into the 2025 NFL season, the Philadelphia Eagles confirmed on social media.

After Wednesday morning debates that included speeches from team owner Jeffrey Lurie and former longtime Eagles center Jason Kelce, the league did not pass an amended proposal from the Green Bay Packers that would have functionally eliminated the Eagles’ signature quarterback sneak play that helped them to their title of reigning Super Bowl champions.




Ten teams voted against the ban, the Athletic and ESPN reported. Clubs that voted with the Eagles include the Baltimore Ravens, New England Patriots and New York Jets, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Initially, the Packers proposed restricting any offensive player from “immediately at the snap, push or throw his body against a teammate, who was lined up directly behind the snapper and received the snap, to aid him in an attempt to gain yardage.”
