The tush push play occurred on just 0.28% of NFL plays last season , per ESPN data.

The Eagles center Jason Kelce and Eagles team owner Jeffrey Lurie beseeched decision-makers to let slide the play.

The proposal fell two votes short of the threshold to pass it.

The tush push play survived a 22 -10 vote from the NFL 's competition committee.
