There were 22 teams that voted to ban the tush push this week and If there’s one thing that seems pretty clear about the voting breakdown, it’s that most of those 22 teams voted in their best self-interest. If you need proof, just look at the Philadelphia Eagles‘ 2025 schedule. The Eagles will be playing 14 different teams this year and 13 OF THEM voted to ban the play.
There is no team better at the tush push than the Eagles and Philadelphia’s opponents all seem pretty well aware of that fact, which is likely one reason why they wanted to see the play thrown out of the game. Here’s a look at the 14 teams on the Eagles’ 2025 schedule and how they voted (The Eagles play 17 games, but they play the Cowboys, Giants and Commanders twice each, so they only play 14 different opponents).
That’s right, the only team on the Eagles’ 2025 schedule that voted to KEEP the tush push was the Detroit Lions, which wasn’t surprising, because coach Dan Cambell had made it clear in March that his team wouldn’t be voting to ban the play.
“I’m of the school of — look, we don’t run that, Jared Goff, we’re not going to. It doesn’t mean we don’t quarterback sneak, but we don’t do that,” Campbell said at the NFL’s annual league meeting in March. “But I am of the school of, ‘Hey, they found something and it’s for up to everybody else to stop it.’ So I’m of a hard yes [when it comes to keeping the play].”
Not only did 13 of Philly’s 14 opponents vote to ban the play, but 86.7% of the NFC voted to get rid of it, which is an astronomically high number when you consider that only 56.3% of AFC teams voted to dump the play. If you’re scoring at home, that’s 13 of 15 NFC teams that voted to ban the play (Not counting the Eagles) with only the Lions and Saints voting to keep it. In the AFC, nine of 16 teams wanted to see it eliminated from the game.
The only division in the AFC where all four teams voted FOR the ban was the AFC West, and in what may or may not be a coincidence, all four of those teams will be facing the Ealges this year. Of all the divisions, the AFC East was the most supportive of keeping the tush push with three of the four teams — Patriots, Jets and Dolphins — voting against the ban.
Most AFC teams only face the Eagles once every four years, so teams in that conference didn’t seem as concerned about banning the tush push. On the other hand, teams in the NFC will be facing the Eagles’ way more often than that and it’s pretty clear that those teams don’t want to deal with the tush push.
The fact that the Eagles’ own conference is so adamantly against the play is almost an argument for keeping it. One of the biggest surprises is that the Cardinals and Colts voted to ban the play. Both teams are coached by a former coordinator for the Eagles with Jonathan Gannon in Arizona and Shane Steichen in Indianapolis.
If the play was going to get banned, a total of 24 owners would have had to vote to have it eliminated, but the vote came up two short, which means the tush push will be around for at least another year.

Fluminense sai atrás, mas vence Vasco de virada com golaço de Guga no Brasileiro
Após sair perdendo para o Vasco, no clássico, pela décima rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro, o Fluminense virou o jogo com um belo gol do lateral-direito Guga. O Vasco, abriu o placar com o zagueiro João Victor e depois perdeu boas chances de ampliar. Com isso, o cruz-maltino viu o tricolor empatar com um gol contra do centroavante Pablo Vegetti e crescer no segundo tempo, fazendo o 2 a 1. Após algumas tentativas de ambos os lados, o primeiro ataque claro aconteceu aos 14 minutos, quando Everaldo recebeu passe de Renê e ajeitou a bola para o Hércules, em boa fase, arrematar na entrada da grande área, mas o chute foi para fora. No entanto, o lance serviu para esquentar o jogo e fazer o Fluminense sair mais para o ataque. O Vasco passou a pressionar mais na saída de bola […]

Aaron Rodgers teases Steelers signing after question about playing for Bears
<!--> The NFL world keeps waiting for Aaron Rodgers to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the future Hall of Fame quarterback recently added more credence to the idea that him doing so is inevitable.At a question-and-answer session hosted by rapper Mike Stud, Rodgers was asked whether he'd ever play for the Chicago Bears. Rodgers — who accumulated a combined 24-5 record against the Bears across his 15 seasons as the starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers (2008-22) — answered "no" but also that he believes "there's a team that might play in Chicago this year" on a "road trip."Outside NFC North competition (Packers, Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings), Chicago hosts the Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints, New York Giants, Steelers and Cleveland Browns in 2025. In thought, the only team in that bunch that either doesn't have its […]
Scheffler makes big move at Colonial as Griffin and Schmid share lead
Scottie Scheffler made seven birdies and an eagle in the third round at the Charles Schwab Challenge in Texas with Robert MacIntyre also edging himself into contention.Coming off his third major victory at the PGA Championship a week ago, but starting the weekend 10 strokes off the lead, Scheffler is tied for seventh after shooting 6 under (64) after plundering seven birdies and an eagle. "You are always going to hope to go play a perfect round. It basically never happens," Scheffler said. "I mean, three bogeys definitely hurts, especially when you are trying to chase, but overall I did some good things."Scheffler will need another spectacular round Sunday to become the first player since Dustin Johnson in 2017 to win in three starts in a row, and the only player other than Ben Hogan in 1946 to win the […]
Belal Muhammad ignored ‘gameplan’ against Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 315: ‘I’m going to live with that’
Getty Images Heading into UFC 315, reasonable expectations were that Belal Muhammad vs. Jack Della Maddalena was a grappler vs. striker affair. Few people expected Muhammad would strike with Della Maddalena so much. Muhammad ultimately lost his welterweight title defense, and he claims his decision to brawl went against his coaches' directivesDella Maddalena and Muhammad each threw approximately 350 strikes in their May 10 pay-per-view headliner. Della Maddalena landed the harder and more accurate strikes, but Muhammad mostly held his own. It was a surprising approach not only for fans, but Muhammad's corner as well. "Obviously, for us, our strategy was to take down Jack, it wasn't to go blow for blow with him, brawl for brawl with him," Muhammad said Thursday on his "Remember the Show" podcast. "But man, it's a weird moment when you're training for something so […]
How Arsenal crafted their second Women’s Champions League title: ‘Being calm, clear and ruthless’
Arsenal Women are champions of Europe (again).Eighteen years after becoming the first English side to win the Champions League, they are now the first team to go all the way through the qualifying rounds to lift the trophy.In a rollercoaster season that began with high-profile player departures, on-pitch frustrations and managerial changes, Renee Slegers leading Arsenal to the European summit feels nearly impossible. They beat perennial Champions League winners Barcelona 1-0 after despatching record-holders Olympique Lyonnais in the semi-finals.AdvertisementBut, hey, this is the year of the underdog, isn’t it?When Arsenal’s Champions League campaign began in September, with a 6-0 qualification win over Rangers, Slegers was still part of then-head coach Jonas Eidevall’s backroom staff. She was an academy player at Arsenal when they last won the Champions League, and Eidevall brought her back to work as an individual development coach.Slegers’ focus […]
