The Philadelphia Eagles will continue to be allowed to do the ‘Tush Push' after a proposal to ban the effective quarterback sneak failed to garner enough support.

The proposal, which came from the Green Bay Packers, who lost to Philadelphia in the playoffs, did not reach the required 75% threshold, and upon hearing the news, the Eagles celebrated with a simple yet effective graphic of Jalen Hurts under center and the words “Push On.”

The Tush Push is a QB sneak in which the entire offensive line collapses into the middle and is followed by the quarterback, who is pushed from behind by anyone else in the backfield. And while the Eagles are not the only team to utilize the strategy, they have proven to be the best at it. When the Eagles operate the Tush Push, they succeed about 86% of the time, 10% more than the rest of the NFL.

Despite the play's polarizing reputation, 10 teams voted against banning the Tush Push, per The Athletic's Dianna Russini. In addition to the Eagles, the Baltimore Ravens, New England Patriots, New York Jets, and Detroit Lions voted no, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Proponents of the Tush Push argue that it is no different from offensive linemen shoving their running backs into the end zone or across the first-down marker in short-yardage plays. Additionally, supporters say there is no extra risk of injury to offensive or defensive players.

Those who oppose the Tush Push, such as the coaches Roger Goodell cited during the NFL Draft, say that the play is not much of a football play, and that it would fit better with rugby. They also say there is an added risk of injury, considering the number of bodies all pushing and jumping into the same area of the field.

Either way, the Eagles are OK to continue using the play they have made famous — or infamous — but the NFL teams could always choose to vote to ban it again down the line.
