It’s been an eventful week for connections between the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Jets.
First, the Eagles reunited with former Jets general manager Joe Douglas, who had a previous stint in Philly. Now, we have learned that the Jets played a pivotal role in an NFL debate revolving around the defending Super Bowl champions.
On Wednesday, the NFL voted on the Green Bay Packers’ proposal to ban Philadelphia’s infamous “tush push” play, which features a player shoving the quarterback from behind on a sneak. For the proposal to be passed, 24 of the league’s 32 owners needed to vote in favor of banning the play.
