Eagles Tush Push isn't part of any proposals for rule change this year
The NFL’s latest playing rule proposals did not include a ban on the Eagles’ tush push for the first time in three years
The Tush Push will live on in 2026 , with teams moving away from proposing a ban after having success stopping the Eagles' famed play in 2025. Adam Schefter reports that the NFL's latest playing rule proposals did not include a ban on the Eagles' tush push for the first time in three years, signaling continued support for the controversial short-yardage play ahead of next week's league meetings. Just last spring, Green Bay's proposal to ban the 'Tush Push' was picking up steam and had supporters at the NFL Owners' Meetings in Florida.
The Packers proposed changing Rule 12, Section 1, ahead of the NFL's annual league meetings, asking for a permanent ban. During Day 1 of the meetings, Kalyn Kahler of ESPN reported that the proposal has supporters and that there was “heated” back-and-forth today in the football ops session about the proposed ban. Green Bay's proposal to ban the 'Tush Push' failed with a resounding 22-10 vote.
The Packers took their pettiness to a new level, amending their proposal regarding Philadelphia's short-yardage play to ensure it would affect all 32 teams. Green Bay submitted a revised proposal to ban the tush push play ahead of the spring meetings, and NFL owners did not vote in their favor. To enact the ban, at least 24 of the 32 NFL teams had to approve it, and that didn't happen after a passionate plea from former Eagles center Jason Kelce.
The playing rule proposals submitted by the NFL Competition Committee for consideration by clubs at next week’s league meeting: 1. Permit the kicking team to declare an onside kick at any time during the game. 2.
