NFL fans are bothered by the league's final decision on the "Tush Push" play for the 2026 season.
The league had reportedly been considering banning the controversial quarterback sneak play, made famous by Jalen Hurts and the Eagles. Several NFL teams have voted to remove the play from the game. However, heading into the 2026 season, the play is here to stay.
The NFL will officially not be making the "tush push" illegal for 2026.
"There will be no discussion about the Tush Push at next week's NFL owners' meetings; the play will be back in 2026," ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Wednesday.
The play is a controversial one. Many argue that it's not really football; it's more like rugby. The Eagles, running it with Jalen Hurts, have been basically unstoppable in short yardage situations.
It can be dangerous, too, with several players getting banged up in an unmovable pile of massive athletes.
But should it be outlawed?
NFL fans are annoyed by the final decision
"It's funny how the Tush Push suddenly isn't a player safety issue anymore. I can't believe that just so happened to coincide with the Eagles suddenly not being as good at it. It really makes you think..." one fan wrote.
"This isn't football," one fan added.
"Gonna be hilarious when the Eagles go back to being 98% effective with everyone healthy and teams start crying again," one fan added.
"Is the NFL Competition Committee stupid? We had fumbles not count, false starts galore & overall a stupid play that would have been illegal not that long ago anyways. You were 2 votes away last year," one fan added.
"It's interesting how it wasn't far from being voted out last year (fell 2 votes short) to not even being discussed this year. Maybe no stances have changed, it wouldn't pass, and it would be a waste of everyone's time to try again?" one fan added.
Should the league consider a significant change for the play heading into the 2027 season?
