Eagles, Packers to take 'tush push' debate on field in Week 10

The Philadelphia Eagles will visit the Green Bay Packers on Nov. 10 in the first game announced on the "Monday Night Football" schedule.

That game, which was announced Tuesday morning on "Good Morning America," will feature the two teams at the center of the offseason "tush push" debate.

NFL owners tabled a vote on whether to ban the controversial play at the annual league meetings on April 1 in Palm Beach, Fla.

The Packers had proposed a ban on the play, which the Eagles and quarterback Jalen Hurts, in particular, run with great success in short-yardage situations. The Packers' proposal sought "to prohibit any offensive player from pushing a teammate who was lined up directly behind the snapper and receives the snap, immediately at the snap."

The debate is not gone for good: It's expected to resurface when owners meet again this month in Minnesota.

The Eagles kicked off the 2024 season with a 34-29 victory over the Packers in Brazil. They also ended Green Bay's season in the playoffs, courtesy of a 22-10 decision on Jan. 12 in Philadelphia.

On Monday, the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles learned that they will begin the season at home against the rival Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 4, host the Chicago Bears on Black Friday, Nov. 28, and visit the Washington Commanders on Dec. 20.
