Feb 9, 2025; New Orleans, LA, USA; Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (1) rushes the ball for a touchdown against the Kansas City Chiefs during the first quarter in Super Bowl LIX at Caesars Superdome. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown won’t be pulling an all-nighter waiting to see how NFL owners vote on a potential ban of Philadelphia’s virtually unstoppable assisted quarterback sneak play.
A vote on eliminating the rugby style quarterback sneak labeled the tush push is expected at the league meetings in Minneapolis on Wednesday. The league tabled a vote in March at the annual spring meeting, a signal the language required refinement or further alterations to gain the approval necessary to ban the successful short-yardage run used by the Super Bowl champions.
“I don’t have any thoughts on it,” Brown said Tuesday. “It’s only one yard.”
The atypical formation involves a power package with multiple players aligned behind quarterback Jalen Hurts. At the snap of the ball, those players quite literally bring up the rear and shove Hurts from behind through would-be tacklers.
A proposal on the table Wednesday would ban any player from “pushing or pulling the ball carrier anywhere on the field.”
Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said in February it would be “unfair” for the 30 teams who aren’t operating the play from herding to block Philadelphia from using it going forward. The Buffalo Bills have also become frequent users of the play in short yardage. They combined for a success rate of 87 percent either converting a first down or scoring a touchdown.
“We’ll see where that goes,” Sirianni said. “We’re not waiting very long to figure it out. It’s going to be public (Wednesday). And you know how I feel about it.”
One way or another, Eagles left tackle Jordan Mailata said he’d be glad to see the name of the play go.
“In terms of them banning the tush push, I hate that name, so I hope they do ban it — it’s a stupid name,” he said.

Týmoví kolegové v boji o titul. Rovnováha v týmu se přesto letos nezměnila, tvrdí Piastri
V čele průběžného žebříčku šampionátu jezdců je už měsíc od Velké ceny Saúdské Arábie. Přestože byl před začátkem sezony větším favoritem Piastriho týmový kolega Norris, dokázal Australan vyhrát čtyři ze sedmi letošních závodů a na svého parťáka má náskok 13 bodů.Oba jezdci McLarenu jsou i díky dosavadním výsledkům hlavními favority na celkové vítězství v letošní sezoně formule 1. O víkendu se ale v Imole připomněl Max Verstappen, jehož ztráta na Norrise činí pouhých devět bodů.Důležitým faktorem v boji o titul jezdců i Pohár konstruktérů budou vnitřní vztahy v McLarenu. Podle slov Piastriho se na nich od začátku roku nic nezměnilo ani přes změnu v pořadí šampionátu.„Upřímně si nemyslím, že by se rovnováha a vztahy v týmu zásadně měnily. Přirozeně chcete mít na konci sezony navrch, k tomu oba míříme,“ přemítal Piastri.„Aktuálně mi výsledky hodně pomáhají k zisku sebevědomí, to je pro mě hodně důležité. Když v závodě soupeříme s ostatními stájemi, je výhodou být první – například v pit stopech […]
20 years later: Danica Patrick reflects on ‘Danica-Mania’ at Indy 500
Bob Pockrass FOX Motorsports Insider <!--> When Danica Patrick took the lead as an Indianapolis 500 rookie 20 years ago, she could see the fans on their feet cheering. But Patrick didn’t realize why they were cheering."I truly thought it was because they were so excited that the race was almost over," said Patrick, who had taken the lead under caution on Lap 172. "I did not think it was about me."I was like, ‘Wow, everybody's so excited. It's almost over. It's exciting.’"It was exciting, especially on the restart where Patrick retained the lead. Then on a restart on Lap 190, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway crowd erupted when Patrick passed Dan Wheldon again for the top spot. She led 18 of 22 laps during that late-race stretch and finished fourth, the position where she started.Patrick’s life wouldn’t remain the same again.During a […]
Top prospect Connor Zilisch taking it all in stride ahead of Cup oval debut
Bob Pockrass FOX Motorsports Insider <!--> Connor Zilisch describes his rookie Xfinity season as one of "growing pains," and that has nothing to do with his recent back injury.The 18-year-old Zilisch was seventh in the standings before dropping to 12th after missing the last race at Texas following a hard crash at Talladega. His win at Circuit of the Americas in March has him comfortably in the playoffs, so Zilisch has already accomplished one of the goals.But, frankly, more eyes could be on Zilisch in the Coca-Cola 600 as he makes his Cup oval debut this Sunday at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Zilisch finished 37th after a crash about midway through his series debut at COTA, a day after winning the Xfinity race.Zilisch, who honed his road-racing skills in Europe, has been touted as a top Cup prospect the last few […]

What Oilers did (and didn’t do) well against Stars in 2024 playoff series
A year ago, the Edmonton Oilers and Dallas Stars played an entertaining six-game series. The five-on-five scoring was fairly even, but Edmonton’s power play scored four times, and the Oilers’ PK outscored the Stars’ PP 1-0 in the Western Conference final. Edmonton had the overall edge in save percentage, shooting percentage and posted double the high-danger chances Dallas earned in the series.If you’re an Oilers fan expecting a repeat, it would be wise to reset expectations. Still, it’s worth looking at what the Oilers did well, and didn’t do well, against the Stars in last year’s playoffs.GoaltendingThe most important game state in hockey is five-on-five.
