The Green Bay Packers ' failed proposal to ban the "Tush Push" included a heated discussion between NFL owners and league executives, according to ESPN. The proposal did not pass despite 22 owners voting to ban the play that played an integral role in the Philadelphia Eagles ' recent Super Bowl win.

Owner Jerry Jones found a way to keep his franchise, long nicknamed "America's team" in the spotlight this week -- despite the fact that it's the middle of football's offseason and the conference finals in both the NBA and NHL are underway.

In the same vein as the play itself, the "Tush Push" barrels forward. On Wednesday, NFL owners voted at the spring league meeting to keep the play made famous by the Philadelphia Eagles, rejecting a proposal put forward by the Green Bay Packers to ban it.

Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys have had to watch the Philadelphia Eagles win multiple Super Bowls in recent years.

After months of debate and hours of discussion at the NFL's spring league meetings in Minnesota Wednesday, the fate of the "tush push" — the play the Philadelphia Eagles run more successfully than any other team — has been decided.

The survival of the tush push arrived as a surprise. And it didn't come without some last-minute and reportedly lurid wrangling from Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie at Wednesday's NFL owners meetings in Minneapolis.
