The “Tush Push” will continue to be part of the NFL in 2025. The play, which was made popular by the Philadelphia Eagles, survived a vote from NFL owners on Wednesday, a month after the Green Bay Packers‘ initial proposal to ban the play was tabled.
Any proposal needs at least 24 votes from the NFL’s owners. The Packers’ proposal to ban the “Tush Push” received 22 votes, according to ESPN, which added that the Baltimore Ravens, New England Patriots, New York Jets and Detroit Lions were among the teams that joined the Eagles in voting against the proposal.
The Eagles arrived at the league meetings on Wednesday with the intention of keeping the play alive. Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie gave a “passionate but fair” speech during the meeting, according to CBS Sports NFL Insider Jonathan Jones, who also reported that former Eagles center Jason Kelce also spoke to the league’s owners about the play while accompanied by videos of the play.
In April, 16 owners reportedly voted in favor of the Packers’ proposal to ban the play, which consists of teammates pushing the ballcarrier through the line of scrimmage. And while there was stronger support in terms of banning the play this time around, there still were not enough votes to push Green Bay’s proposal past the proverbial goal line.
Ironically, the proposal’s 22-10 vote on Wednesday is the same score from the Eagles’ win over the Packers during January’s NFC wild-card round.

After all, how dangerous can a throw-in really be?But Myhill stopped, hesitated, stuttered, regretted every one of his life decisions that had led him to this point, weighed up his options… and kicked it out for a corner.

Jude Bellingham’s shoulder surgery: What impact will it have on Real Madrid? Might they buy a midfielder?
Jude Bellingham is set to undergo shoulder surgery after Real Madrid’s participation at the revamped Club World Cup this summer, which is expected to rule him out for the opening months of the 2025-26 season. The England midfielder dislocated his left shoulder in November 2023 in a league match against Rayo Vallecano. He missed the next four matches for Madrid and England but has played on since, often with strapping on his shoulder. AdvertisementSpecialists consulted by The Athletic indicated that Bellingham will likely be sidelined for around 12 weeks while he recovers from the operation, which is likely to take place in July. That will leave Madrid without one of their key players for a chunk of the next campaign. So what does this mean for Madrid? How much will they miss Bellingham? And will it have an impact on their summer plans?Why […]
The New York Knicks can’t escape their history, and their Game 1 loss has fans wondering if there really is a curse and when it will end
The New York Knicks have long been haunted by whispers of a "curse," a narrative fueled by decades of struggle despite their storied history and passionate fanbase. Founded in 1946 as a charter member of the NBA, the Knicks play in the iconic Madison Square Garden and are valued at $6.6 billion by Forbes in 2025, making them the league's most valuable franchise. Yet, their on-court success hasn't matched their commercial prowess, with only two championships-1970 and 1973-and a 52-year title drought as of 2025. This gap has birthed the idea of a "Knicks curse," a supposed jinx that keeps them from glory, often cited by fans and media alike. Victor Wembanyama roots against Paige Bueckers and Dallas by showing love to a French rookieThe curse narrative gained traction around 2012, a year marked by a record 13 straight playoff […]
