On Tuesday, the NFL decided to table discussions and a vote on a potential ban of the Eagles' short-yardage 'Tush Push' play. Two weeks ago, Green Bay proposed the ban and needed 24 votes for the league to pass it; the process stopped at 16 votes. The league will likely discuss the matter during the spring meetings in May, but the damage is done.

The Eagles have come under fire for utilize a standard quarterback sneak that incorporates lining up two players behind Jalen Hurts, who receives the snap, uses his powerful legs (600-pound squat), with the push of his two fellow Eagles from behind, attempts to gain the necessary yardage for a fresh set of downs or a touchdown.
