ESPN's Adam Schefter reports a ban of the tush-push play that the Philadelphia Eagles revolutionized didn't receive enough votes at Wednesday's league meetings in Minneapolis, so the play will continue to be allowed in 2025. Retired Eagles center Jason Kelce and Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie spoke to NFL owners on the merits of keeping the play before the vote. The final vote was 22-10 on the proposal, which was originally submitted by the Green Bay Packers. The proposal needed 24 votes to pass. Among the teams that were in favor of banning the play were the Baltimore Ravens, New England Patriots, New York Jets and Detroit Lions. In the proposal's updated language, "offensive players cannot assist the runner except by individually blocking opponents for him." The tush-push play appeared in only 0.28% of total plays in 2024, according to ESPN Research.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerRead More News
