If the Eagles have a sense of humor, regardless of score or field position, the first play they run in their season opener against Dallas on the night of Thursday, Sept. 4, will be the Tush Push. It would be a fitting middle finger at a league that so deeply resents the town and the team that it tried to legislate a completely legitimate play that is the essence of football: strength vs.

Jones isn't the only member of the NFC East to make the decision. Both the New York Giants and Washington Commanders reportedly voted to ban the play. All three of those clubs have to play the Eagles twice in the regular season, and have likely seen their fair share of tush pushes over the years.
