PHILADELPHIA — Eagles coach Nick Sirianni and quarterback Jalen Hurts can let out a collective sigh of relief.
The NFL’s 2023 playing rule, bylaw, and resolution proposals document was released Thursday, and the list of potential rule changes that will be discussed during next week’s NFL owners meetings in Phoenix, did not involve the quarterback sneak.
This particular play was a hot topic at the NFL scouting combine, after the Eagles converted on 90.6% (29 of 32) of their QB sneak attempts during the 2022 season. Often, they’d support Hurts with an assortment of teammates from behind, and those players were tasked with pushing Hurts forward. Across the league, the ultra-successful play earned the nickname “The Tush Push.”
