Tush Push: The NFL teams on the Eagles’ side
The vote came down to 22 teams in favor of banning the play and 10 teams in favor of keeping it. The ban was proposed by the Green Bay Packers, so we can safely assume they were one of the 22 against it while the Eagles were at the top of the list of 10 wanting to keep it.
It’s shocking that so many teams were against the Tush Push though, as it’s proven not to be a safety concern - one of the arguments against the play. Though most teams have not found a way to use the play successfully, the Eagles mastered it to the tune of a 92% success rate.
