The Green Bay Packers ' failed proposal to ban the "Tush Push" included a heated discussion between NFL owners and league executives, according to ESPN. The proposal did not pass despite 22 owners voting to ban the play that played an integral role in the Philadelphia Eagles ' recent Super Bowl win.

Owner Jerry Jones found a way to keep his franchise, long nicknamed "America's team" in the spotlight this week -- despite the fact that it's the middle of football's offseason and the conference finals in both the NBA and NHL are underway.

In the same vein as the play itself, the "Tush Push" barrels forward. On Wednesday, NFL owners voted at the spring league meeting to keep the play made famous by the Philadelphia Eagles, rejecting a proposal put forward by the Green Bay Packers to ban it.

The push to ban the Eagles' signature play has become one of the NFL's top stories and, rest assured, the movement is not over.

Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys have had to watch the Philadelphia Eagles win multiple Super Bowls in recent years.

The survival of the tush push arrived as a surprise. And it didn't come without some last-minute and reportedly lurid wrangling from Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie at Wednesday's NFL owners meetings in Minneapolis.

The NFL's ruled to uphold the Tush Push has made headlines throughout the league. After the Green Bay Packers proposed the banning of the infamous Philadelphia Eagles play, the ruling was made to keep the play for the 2025 season.
