Eagles need 8 other teams to vote against “tush push” ban at NFL owners meeting

In order for the tush push to officially be banned moving forward, the NFL needs 24 teams to vote in favor of removing the play — but that means that the Eagles need just eight other teams, in addition to themselves, to vote against the rule change.

This seems to be the hot topic (again) at the annual meeting, and most coaches and GMs have been very vocal one way or the other when it comes to their thoughts on the matter.

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said that they expect to have the votes from Jonathan Gannon (Cardinals), Shane Steichen (Colts), and Kellen Moore (Saints) — all who have benefitted from the play during their time in Philly.
