The NFL must not see anything wrong with the Philadelphia Eagles' tush-push play that garnered a hoard of attention following the Super Bowl. 

In a fairly surprising decision on Thursday, the competition committee elected to not list the tush-push play on its list of rule proposals and bylaws to be considered ahead of the 2023 season, according to Kalyn Kahler of The Athletic.

That means the play, which allows multiple players to line up behind quarterback Jalen Hurts and essentially push him forward on a quarterback sneak, will still be permitted for at least one more season. 

Originally, the tush-push was thought to be on the way out. Many around the NFL complained that it created an unfair offensive advantage. In reality, those complaining merely couldn't figure out how to stop the play. 

During the 2022 NFL season, the Eagles converted on the tush-push with staggering efficiency. And in the playoffs, that efficiency only increased. 

The Eagles were successful 36 of 40 times they attempted the play. One coach claimed he was going to run the play constantly if it was not banned. Well, he now has his chance to put his money where his mouth is. 

That was the central truth remiss in much of the NFL's early discourse regarding the rule. If a coach thought the play was unfair, run it. Reap the success of the loop in the rules the Eagles used to their own success. No one was stopping opposing teams from doing the same. 

It turns out the NFL saw the tush-push the same way. And at least for one more season, the Eagles will be able to push Hurts across the line of scrimmage when needing to pick up critical yards in short-yardage situations.
