It appears as though the tide has turned on the Philadelphia Eagles' most infamous play they have ever created: the Tush Push.
Last offseason, the biggest storyline for the Eagles was whether they could keep the Tush Push, as the league lacked the votes to ban the play. The Green Bay Packers proposed the ban, which passed 22-10, but many were still upset about it. Now, this offseason, it appears things are different: NFL competition committee co-chairman Rich McKay isn't seeing any changes on the horizon for the league, including the Tush Push.
"There's no team proposal that I've seen from it," McKay said via ESPN. "So, I wouldn't envision it. But you never know."
NFL teams don't seem to care about the Tush Push anymore
It's funny how this past offseason, the Tush Push was dangerous for players' safety and not really considered a football play. Now, not even a peep about any of the other 31 NFL teams is talking about it this time around.
Why is that? Well, simply because teams are defending it now better than ever.
ESPN shared that despite the Tush Push being run more in 2025 (112) than in 2024 (101), the play wasn't as successful. Teams went from a 82% conversion rate from 2022 through 2024 to a 76.8% conversion rate in 2025.
The Eagles still ran the play more than any other in the NFL during 2025, with 27. One thing everyone noticed, though, is that Philly did not do as well with the play. In fact, teams were starting to figure out how to defend it better, with one prime example being Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts actually being stripped of the ball on the play by Chicago Bears cornerback Nahshon Wright in Philly's Black Friday loss back in November.
Most of the issues on the play was due to the offensive line being banged up with Cam Jurgens and Landon Dickerson not being able to get as much of an initial push up front. Also, referees were being stricter about alignment and calling false starts and offsides on the play. It's a play that by the end of the year was not being run nearly as much by the Eagles as it had been in the past few years, so Eagles fans slowly started to forget about it.

Now that the Eagles aren't as dominant with the play, no one cares anymore. No cries from the Buffalo Bills or proposals made by the Packers. Just pure silences. Interesting to say the least.
