The tush push has lived to see another day in the NFL, and Jason Kelce is celebrating. On Wednesday, NFL owners voted on a proposal to ban the controversial play, but it failed to garner enough votes.

Kelce, the retired Eagles center, lobbied owners before the vote in Eagan, Minn. on Wednesday, along with Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, ESPN reported. Lurie expressed his pleasure with the outcome, while Kelce had more to say about the play on his New Heights podcast with brother Travis Kelce. "I'll come out of retirement today if you tell me all I've got to do is run 80 tush pushes to play in the NFL," Kelce said, pushing back on the notion that the Eagles' propensity for running the play was responsible for injuries which led to his retirement.

The proposal to ban the tush push was initially put forth by the Green Bay Packers, who have called the play "dangerous". The proposal needed 24 votes to pass, but it fell short with a final vote of 22-10.

The 10 teams that voted against the proposal (or in favor of the tush push) were the Eagles, plus nine teams that aren't scheduled to play them this season: the Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, New York Jets, and Tennessee Titans.

Kelce had previously attempted to clear up previous comments he made about the play, which the Eagles have run an NFL-leading 108 times since 2022, per ESPN. The future NFL Hall of Famer explained that he previously called the play "grueling," and not "dangerous" for players, but said his commentary was "misunderstood" by reporters.
