The NFL may finally be nearing the end of the Eagles' famous or perhaps infamous tash push.
The Packers were victims of Philadelphia's domination in the playoffs and immediately submitted a proposal to ban a tash push.
But Packer isn't alone. The ban may have gained some traction.
“I feel like I'm gaining more momentum when it comes to people who disagree than I've heard before,” Athletic's Diana Rasini Reported on Friday. “The feeling I've got from around the league is that the momentum to ban Tash pushes is growing.”
The pushback against the Tash Push began to grow even bigger within the league after Philadelphia destroyed the Chiefs on their way to a 40-22 victory at Super Bowl 2025.
The Russini report came days after another NFL insider, Mark Muske of the Washington Post. The ban reported that it would face a difficult battle.
A pass proposal would require 24 of the league's 32 teams to vote to ban play.
Maske reported that his sources “we don't know if we can get 24,” but Russini showed that things could ultimately tend to in other directions.
The league's owners meeting will be next week, with votes being held on the issue and other potential rules changes.
In 2006, the rulebook did not allow pushing or pulling ball carriers.
In February, Eagles head coach Nick Cirianni expressed his dissatisfaction with the team seeking to remove plays.
“We work so hard in the play that I feel a bit insulted,” he said. “The fact that's a successful play for the Eagles, people want to take it away. I think that's a bit unfair.”
No one runs the play like Philadelphia. If that were banned, the Eagles' offense could hit a significant blow to short yard situations.
