President Green Bay Packers, Mark Murphy – who retires in 2025 – still wants the National Football League to ban the game “Tush Push”, which became notable for Jalen Hurts and Philadelphia Eagles.
In his Monthly columns of questions and answers to packers.comMurphy said that “he is not a fan of the game and would like the league to ban the playmaker in stretch marks.
From Murphy:
“I’m not a fan of this game. There are no skills and it is almost an automatic first in the field of the yard or less. A series of plays with offsides jumping commanders in the match for the NFC championship to try to stop the game, was funny. The judge even threatened that he gave the orłom an automatic placing if the commander did not stop him. I would like to see how the league prohibits pushing or helping a runner (QB) in this game. There used to be a rule prohibiting this, but it is no longer enforced, because I think it was thought that it was too difficult to see. The game is harmful to the game and we should come back to prohibit the pushes of the runner. This would restore the traditional QB trick. It worked quite well for Bart Starr and Packers in Ice Bowl. “
Here is the controversial sequence from the NFC championships last Sunday between the Eagles and Washington’s commanders. Linebacker Frankie Luvu tried to hand over Snap and jump over the middle to stop the “Tush Pushing”, but they suffered a few more penalties behind offsids near the goal line.
When LB Frankie Luvu tried to disrupt @Eagles Tush Push in the NFC championships, officials warned @Commanders that they can cause rarely used, but long -lasting, @Nfl Principle 12.3.2 on the subject of “unjustly acts”.

Murphy was Against the Tush Push game Because he first came to the stage in 2023.
This does not mean that Packers have not found a way to operate the game. In 2024, coach Matt Lafleur began to operate Tucker Kraft with trickeys from Under Center, and Packers went 5 to 5 conversions using the game, including twice in play-offs in Philadelphia.
Expect that you will see “Tush Push” several times during the Super Bowl Lix this Sunday. Hurts, and Eagles will try to stop Patrick Mahomes and the bosses of Kansas City before winning the third in a row Super Bowl.
While the eagles made them automatically pushed automatically, the bosses stopped Josh Allen in several similar games in the match for the AFC championship, including the controversial stop in fourth place in the second half.
Any possible change in the rules for 2025 would appear out of season through the League Competition Committee, but it is not clear whether the Shenanigans from the conference championship matches – and Murphy’s desire to get rid of the game – they will introduce all changes for the next year.
