NFL Issues Ruling On The Eagles Infamous Tush Push: Reports

PHILADELPHIA, PA — The NFL ruled on Wednesday that the "tush push," the coordinated shove of a player into the end zone made famous by the Eagles, is legal, according to reports by the NFL Network and ESPN.

The proposal to ban the push was put forth by the Green Bay Packers at the NFL's annual Spring League meeting.

NFL owners voted to keep the push by a narrow margin, with just two votes to spare, the reports state.

The Eagles are not the only team to use the play, but they've pioneered and perfected it and used it to great success over the past few seasons, culminating in a Super Bowl championship in February.

The Birds social media team began their day with a simple, two-word response to the ruling: "push on."

While the Packers and others have been vocal in their stances against the play, others, like Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campell and New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel, have supported it, essentially saying that opposing defenses need to learn how to stop it — not the league itself.

In further celebration of the ruling, the Birds also shared a Youtube montage entitled "26 minutes of the tush push."
