Inside the NFL tush push debate that thwarted its ban — thanks first and foremost to Jason Kelce

Our Summary

In a dramatic NFL meeting, Jason Kelce of the Philadelphia Eagles passionately defended the "tush push" play from being banned, ultimately succeeding as the proposal fell short by two votes. The debate involved concerns about player safety, skill level, and competitive advantage. Despite strong support for the ban, the play survived due to a lack of consensus. The potential ban was seen as a step towards reducing high-risk plays in preparation for a potential 18-game season. The league's failed attempt to ban the play may lead to future discussions on its fate.
