The Brotherly Shove isn't going anywhere.
A year after the NFL made a big deal about potentially banning the tush push, it isn't even the docket this time around. The Philadelphia Eagles have to be happy about that news.
There are five playing rules changes up for a vote, according to multiple NFL insiders on Tuesday.
The tush push isn't on the list.

In a vote last year, the tush push was two votes from being banned.
It's an annoying play for some, with it feeling less like the athletic, expansive game that football has become.
Others cite the potential for injury risk as a lot of big bodies all try to get low and create leverage at once.
And others point out that it's tough to officiate. Replays often show players starting to move early on the tush push play, but since everyone is so jumbled together, it often doesn't get called.
But in the end, it's not going anywhere. The Eagles aren't the only team that benefits, of course. Many teams have added this to their short-yardage playbook, with the Buffalo Bills in particular getting very good at it with Josh Allen.
The Eagles were the originators, though, and they'll always be connected to it. And right now, they know they'll still have that play to call upon when they need a yard.
