Eagles mock the rest of the NFL after Packers fail to get the Tush Push banned

Following the NFL's decision to allow the Tush Push to remain legal, the Philadelphia Eagles couldn't help but think of the Green Bay Packers in light of this key ruling.

In recent hours, the Philadelphia Eagles made headlines across the NFL as the league voted on whether the Tush Push would remain legal. The Green Bay Packers were among the teams pushing for the play to be banned, but in the end, it will continue to be allowed and can be used by teams in the upcoming season.

Once the final decision was made—22 votes in favor and only 10 against—the Eagles posted a suggestive video featuring nearly 26 minutes of Tush Push plays from recent seasons.

“The #Eagles just posted 26 minutes of the Tush Push on their YouTube page,” NFL insider Jordan Schultz revealed via his official X account (formerly Twitter), @Schultz_Report.

Following the franchise owners’ discussions held in Minneapolis, Nick Sirianni’s team ultimately came out as one of the beneficiaries of the final decision — a ruling that was even applauded by other teams across the league.
