Some plays are just too good to survive. The Wildcat had its moment before defenses cracked the code. The Legion of Boom’s grabby coverage forced rule changes. And now, the Tush Push—a play so unstoppable it’s almost unfair—has every team outside of Philly calling for its demise. The Eagles’ championship confetti has not even settled yet, and there are already calls to ban their (in)famous play.Mind you, it’s not for lack of trying. Plenty of teams have attempted to mimic the Eagles’ brute-force QB sneak, but none have cracked the formula. Jordan Love learned that lesson the hard way. A video that’s blowing up on the internet shows the Packers QB trying his hand at the infamous push—only to end up in a heap behind the line of scrimmage. And that, right there, could be why Green Bay is leading the charge to get the play banned for good.(Tush) Pushing the boundaries of physical gritSo far, the Eagles have been the only team with massive success in executing the ‘Brotherly Shove.‘ Philly had an 82% success rate (28 of 34) in the 2024 season. This technique has been their go-to answer in tough short-yardage positions. There’s no denying that it has been a cheat code for Jalen Hurts and Co.“There is no skill involved”Jordan Love doing a QB sneak pic.twitter.com/sAt520QtK4 https://t.co/vDabrOkmPv— NBA Slime (@TerryFranconia) February 24, 2025Throughout the season, the Eagles’ mastery of this tactic was evident. In a crunch Week 8 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals that could set the tone for the season, the team utilized the Tush Push multiple times to convert critical third and fourth downs, maintaining offensive momentum and earning a decisive 37-17 victory.A defining moment showcasing the effectiveness of the play occurred during Super Bowl LIX against the three-peat-chasing favorites, the Kansas City Chiefs. Facing a crucial 4th-and-1 on the Chiefs’ goal line, the Eagles executed the Tush Push to perfection, propelling Hurts into the end zone and securing an early lead. This play not only set the tone for the game but also underscored the Eagles’ dominance in short-yardage scenarios.And since the Eagles won the championship in such a dominant fashion, there is a lot of chatter about teams wanting the officials to ban Philly’s mastered technique. This is not the first time the NFL world has called for its ban. The Eagles had a wild 93.5% success rate in executing the ‘Brotherly Shove’ two seasons ago in 2022. They even made it to the Super Bowl final. It was then that other franchises started their crusade, wanting the league to put an end to this grueling technique. But luckily for the Eagles, the league did not enforce a ban back then.Now, after the franchise’s second Super Bowl win, the chatter about putting an end to it is growing louder. This time, the Packers have submitted a proposal to the NFL officials to ban the technique that virtually turns Jalen Hurts into the ball himself.Jordan Love’s team challenge Eagles’ ‘Tush Push’ with official proposal“I am not a fan of this play. There is no skill involved, and it is almost an automatic first down on plays of a yard or less“. These are the words of Packers President Mark Murphy, who has often voiced his displeasure against the Tush Push technique. Just a few hours before, headlines were making rounds that an anonymous franchise had submitted a proposal to the NFL to ban the Tush Push play. Later, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported that it was Jordan Love’s team who knocked on the officials’ door with an official proposal.NEW: The Green Bay Packers want the NFL to ban the Eagles’ Tush Push play, saying that running it requires “no skill involved.”HERE IS GREEN BAY USING THE TUSH TUSH PLAY AGAINST PHILLY FOR THEIR OWN ADVANTAGE.pic.twitter.com/4lerRQkDPy— MLFootball (@_MLFootball) February 24, 2025“The Green Bay Packers are the team that submitted a proposal to the NFL’s competition committee to ban the Tush Push, per sources,” posted the NFL insider on X. And Philly’s OT Lane Johnson couldn’t help but burst into laughter, dropping a laughing emoji on the post. The play has been a huge contributor to Philly’s success, even during their Super Bowl win against the Chiefs. The Eagles also used it to terrorize the Packers in their clashes in 2024. Naturally, they and other teams have looked at strategies and techniques to try to adopt them. But in this case, they’ve failed miserably. Now, they’re pushing for its ban.“There used to be a rule prohibiting this, but it is no longer enforced because I believe it was thought to be too hard for the officials to see. The play is bad for the game, and we should go back to prohibiting the push of the runner,” added the Packers President. So, the proposal has been submitted. Now, let’s see what the league decides. Whether they ban the play or let the Eagles’ offense continue to haunt defenses with it. A look at the Jordan Love video can’t help but give ammunition to those ‘hate us ’cause they ain’t us’ comebacks from Eagles fans though. Cheesy move by the Packers for sure.The post Cameras Capture Jordan Love Running ‘Tush Push’-Like Play as Packers Push for Ban on Eagles’ Signature Move appeared first on EssentiallySports.
