Sounds like the Tush Push will be safe again in 2026 originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
The Tush Push, a signature play utilized by the Eagles, is expected to remain legal through the 2026 NFL season, with no proposals to ban it anticipated this year, according to NFL competition committee co-chairman Rich McKay. Despite a failed attempt to outlaw the play last offseason, the Eagles saw a decline in success during the 2025 season, achieving only 63.6% effectiveness compared to over 81% in 2024. Opposing defenses adapted their strategies against the Tush Push, prompting the Eagles to refine their approach. The discussion around banning the play has persisted for years, with NFL officials acknowledging its legitimacy and effectiveness.
