UPDATE: Since the publishing of this "just for fun" article, reports have emerged on the team that actually made the proposal: The Green Bay Packers. Wendell Ferreira wrote about their reasoning.

Last year, the NFL world thought with Jason Kelce hanging it up, the Philadelphia Eagles would become less efficient running the infamous "Tush Push," a variation of the quarterback sneak popularized by the Jalen Hurts-led offense. That never happened. 

The play, which consists of a quarterback sneak with the aid of multiple players pushing the quarterback, has been close to unstoppable. Defensive coordinators have given up trying to stop it, instead focusing on avoiding short yardage situations all together.

But now, an unnamed NFL team is attempting to stop it once and for all away from the gridiron. They'll try to slow it down at the table by proposing it becomes a banned play.

According to NFL columnist Judy Battista, "one unidentified team has submitted a proposal to ban the play known as the Tush Push." 

The news is unsurprising considering the league had already looked into the controversial play in the past, determining there wasn't enough data to determine if it was unsafe for players. Now it could be a question of competitiveness instead, though.  

But I've got to say, the fact that it's an "unnamed team" makes it embarrassing. The proposal is petty enough to where the team doesn't want to be linked to it. Usually, we know exactly what team proposed what. 

So just for the fun of it, I thought I'd throw darts into the dark to try to guess what team came up with the proposal.

A much needed disclaimer before we proceed though: We're just having fun here, there's not any sort of inside information going into the teams I'm listing below. Let's begin. 

Buffalo Bills

The Bills might've gone to Super Bowl LIX if they had been able to move the chains or score in all those quarterback sneak attempts they ran with Josh Allen in the AFC Championship Game versus the Kansas City Chiefs.

Considering how their elimination came down in large part to Allen being controversially ruled short of the first down in an incredibly hard to decipher replay, it had to sting watching the Eagles do their thing over and over again. Could straight up jealousy have led them to propose a ban? Yeah, I consider them the primary suspect.  

Washington Commanders

Frankie Luvu leaped over the offensive line in the NFC Championship Game so many times officials had to tell the Commanders they'd grant a touchdown to the Eagles if they went offside one more time.

Here's the thing: Dan Quinn has been facing the tush push for long before he took over the Commanders, as he was the Cowboys DC between for three years before heading to Washington. 

Kansas City Chiefs

This would be the pettiest of moves and I'm here for it. Can you imagine getting blown out 40-22 in the Super Bowl and firing back with a ban proposal for the opponent's best play? 

You can't even chalk up your loss to that play but you're still trying to ruin your enemy's day. Sore losing at its finest. Chiefs fans know deep in their hearts they don't want it to be K.C. 

Dallas Cowboys 

I couldn't leave the Cowboys out. Though it's true regular season games have been close over the last few years, the Eagles have been to two Super Bowls since 2018 while Dallas hasn't made the NFC Championship Game in almost 30 years. 

They might as well try to put a bump on Philly's road. 

Plot twist scenario: It's Cam Jurgens

I can't dismiss the possibility of the proposal coming from within. Listen, it can't be fun for the Eagles center to hear this play called a bazillion times throughout the season. Jalen Hurts ran the sneak 35 times last season. Not one of the nine quarterbacks ranked above him in EPA per attempt ran it more than 13 times. Plus Jurgens sneaking into Howie Roseman's office to send an email is a funny thought.

Eagles’ A.J. Brown gets honest about his relationship with Jalen Hurts: ‘We’re two alphas who want to be the best’

They do indeed bump heads.
