NFL owners vote against banning tush push

The league released a revised proposal by the Green Bay Packers on Monday that broadens the language to prohibit pushing, pulling, lifting or encircling a runner by any offensive player, not specific to quarterback assists. This would’ve put the rule back where it was 20 years ago, when a previous such ban was lifted because of the difficulty of enforcement.
The play has been key to Philadelphia’s sustained run of success in recent seasons, and helped them win Super Bowl LIX. In fact, the Eagles’ opening touchdown of Super Bowl LIX came via tush push as Jalen Hurts was vaulted into the end zone with the help of his teammates’ force.
With the tush push remaining a viable play call, the Eagles will, presumably, continue to run it often, while their opponents will try to figure out how to match their success.
