EAGAN, Minn. — During a closed-door NFL meeting, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce passionately defended the “tush push” technique, which had previously faced a ban proposal that fell two votes short. Despite concerns about player safety and the play’s infrequent use, the Eagles successfully lobbied team owners, leading to its continuation for the 2025 season. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and other executives expressed mixed feelings about the play’s survival, indicating that future discussions on the topic could arise as the league navigates health and safety concerns.
