In a rather shocking development, NFL owners voted to not ban the Tush Push Wednesday morning, according to The Athletic's Diana Russini. The vote, which would've outlawed the play, did not meet the 75% threshold needed to pass.

The Green Bay Packers initiated a plan to ban the play this offseason and were steadfast on getting rid of it. However, the Eagles' lobbying efforts managed to convince nine other teams in voting against the proposed ban: 

Earlier this morning, Russini also reported that Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie addressed his fellow owners, where he "emphasized the need to clean up the process, not the play itself."

"Whoever votes to ban this play is taking liability for putting risk on our quarterbacks," Lurie reportedly said in a speech that lasted about a half an hour.



Former Eagles center Jason Kelce also attended the meeting, where he talked about the safety of the play as well. Following the vote, Kelce could be see smiling in the lobby in a picture posted on X, by Yahoo!'s Jordi Epstein.
