Packers Couldn't Stop Eagles' Tush Push During Offseason. Now They'll Try to Contain It on the Field

The NFL owners narrowly rejected banning the Eagles' 'tush push' QB sneak, which has an 85.9% conversion rate on short-yardage plays since 2021, setting up a key game at Lambeau.

  • Lambeau Field, Green Bay, hosts the rematch on Monday after the Green Bay Packers' offseason bid to ban the Philadelphia Eagles' push-style sneak fell two votes short.
  • Because the Eagles have consistently converted sneaks, owners debated a rule change after Sportradar data shows Jalen Hurts' QB sneaks on third-or-fourth-and-1 have converted 85.9% of the time since 2021.
  • NFL owners voted 22-10 on the proposed rule change but failed to reach the three-quarters majority, while Mark Murphy, Packers president/CEO, led the ban effort amid criticism from Matt LaFleur and Micah Parsons.
  • Eagles travel to face the Packers at Lambeau Field with kickoff at 8:20 p.m., and Packers players including Karl Brooks and Colby Wooden prioritize stopping the push-style sneak despite the 1.5-point spread.
  • Officiating questions and social-media clips have intensified scrutiny as the Philadelphia Eagles lead with an 85% red-zone touchdown rate, well above league-wide conversion rates.

No nostalgia, just business for Eagles against Packers at Lambeau Field

PHILADELPHIA — The Green Bay Packers don’t like the Eagles. At all.
