Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce gives his brutally honest opinion about the ultimate fate of the Tush Push
Fans won’t like what he had to say.
The Tush Push is back under the NFL’s microscope, and Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce believes this could be the final straw.
While appearing on 94WIP on Thursday, Kelce revealed why he thinks the play will be banned after the 2025 NFL season.
“I think the play is done,” Kelce said during an appearance on 94 WIP in Philadelphia. “I think that the play was going to be done last year. I think that there are a lot of people within the league at multiple levels who want the play to be gone, which is fine. I think we’ll still go back to running quarterback sneak, and I’m sure they’ll figure out ways to be successful. I’m not really that concerned with it, to be very candid.”
The debate over banning the Tush Push reignited this week after a now-deleted slow-motion clip went viral, appearing to show several Eagles players moving early or lining up offsides before the snap. It didn’t help the Eagles that they repeatedly used the play to ultimately beat the Kansas City Chiefs 20-17 in Week 2.
NFL Asks Officials to Call Tush Push ‘Tight’ Moving Forward
Now, heading into Week 3 against the Las Angeles Rams, and the NFL is calling for game officials to call the Tush Push “tight.”
“We want to officiate it tight,” Ramon George, NFL vice president of officiating training and development, said via the Washington Post. “We want to be black and white and be as tight as we can be when we get into this situation where teams are in the bunch position and we have to officiate them being onsides, movement early. … Prior to the snap, looks like we have movement by the right guard. We also have movement coming across from the defensive side. This is a very hard play to officiate. I get it.”
We’ll see how things fare for the Eagles and their beloved Tush Push play on Sunday, but don’t expect head coach Nick Sirianni to hold back.
