\"Packers<\/p>\n

After losing to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Wild Card round and Week 1 of the 2024 NFL regular season, the Green Bay Packers are sick of the tush push. In fact, they were so bothered by the tush push, that they pitched to get the play banned in the NFL, per Dianna Russini on X.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Green Bay Packers are the team that submitted a proposal to the NFL\u2019s competition committee to ban the tush push, per sources,\u201d Russini wrote.<\/p>\n

For those unaware of what the tush push is \u2014 if there are any of you out there \u2014 it’s essentially a play the Eagles have popularized for short-yardage situations. The play has been pushed to be banned by a small group of teams, though it’s still legal.<\/p>\n

Jalen Hurts \u2014 a quarterback who can squat 600 pounds \u2014 starts under center, with multiple players behind him.<\/p>\n

Once the ball is hiked, the Eagles’ offensive line \u2014 also one of the best in the NFL \u2014 makes a pathway of destruction, allowing Hurts to lunge forward to gain the yardage necessary.<\/p>\n

If Hurts can’t get in on his own, the players behind him push his tush, giving him extra assistance from the back.<\/p>\n

And while teams \u2014 like the Packers \u2014 might say it’s an overpowered play, the Buffalo Bills proved that’s not the case, when they went 0-for-4 on tush push attempts with Josh Allen against the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.<\/p>\n

For those unaware of the size comparison of Hurts and Allen, here you go:<\/p>\n
