Jason Kelce has come clean on the Eagles’ version of the quarterback sneak.
The play, dubbed the “Tush Push” or “Brotherly Shove,” has gained notoriety around the NFL as it has given Philly a marked advantage over opponents in short-yardage situations for the past three seasons.
Kelce, who was at the center of it all for two terms, recently admitted he doesn’t even like the play, given the toll it took on him.

“For me, as a center, it sucks. It’s a grueling play where you’re going to get as low as possible,” he said on ‘The Steam Room’ (H/T ProFootballTalk). “If I get grass on my facemask, I probably did the play pretty good, because I got as low as possible and drove forward. If you get low and drive forward, it’s really hard for the defense to stop it.”

While the former offensive lineman is relieved at not having to power the Brotherly Shove anymore, he knows how big of an advantage it is for Philadelphia.
“You know how big an advantage it is, essentially we’re saving ourselves a turnover, whether it’s a punt or whatever,” he continued. “So it’s such a difference-maker at the end of the day that you’re always willing to do that for your team.”

The NFL could opt to ban the play next season and has plans to review it before the start of 2025.
“I think it will be a conversation. I think what happened in the championship game was ugly,” FOX rules expert Mike Pereira noted, via Mark Maske of the Washington Post. “I think with the ugliness of that, they’ll take a further look at it… I think it’ll continue being looked at, that maybe at somewhere down the road making a change.”
NCL commissioner Roger Goodell wasn’t all that keen on banning the Eagles’ patented sneak back in 2023.

“I haven’t taken a position on that one,” he said back then. “Last year the committee had a lot of different views on that, the membership did. I want to hear that again this year. I want to hear how people feel about it.”
Things could change heading into next season, however.
