Final vote on 'Tush Push' matched the 22-10 score in Eagles wildcard win over Packers
Final vote on 'Tush Push' matched the 22-10 score in Eagles wildcard win over Packers The Tush Push ban failed with a 22-10 vote, matching the final score in the Eagles' wild-card win over the Packers in January Karma comes in many forms, and nothing quite soothes the soul like a double-whammy of reminders for the losing team. Green Bay proposed banning the Eagles''' short-yardage 'Tush Push' play. After some very intense moments, including a plea from the legend, Jason Kelce, NFL owners met in private and came away with a 22-10 vote, keeping the play alive. The Packers needed 24 of the 32 teams to vote yes on the ban to salvage their proposal. Making it even more stinging, the final vote matched the final score from Philadelphia's 22-10 win over Green Bay in the NFC Wild Card game in January. In that win, Jalen Hurts threw two touchdown passes in his first game since a Week 16 concussion, and Dallas Goedert had the play of the game as the Philadelphia Eagles earned a 22-10 wild-card playoff win over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night on the backs of a dynamic and playmaking defense. A.J. Brown had one catch on the night but was at peace with the outcome, and his sideline reading is a significant reason. While on the sidelines after an offensive series, Brown was spotted reading through the pages of 'Inner Excellence' by Jim Murphy. After the game, Brown explained that the book brings him inner peace.

That may sound bad, but it's actually decent, considering the book was first (self) published in 2009, and then reissued, largely rewritten, five years ago in 2020. The book had garnered some respectful reviews, praised by a couple of successful pro golfers, albeit on the back nine of their careers. Yet it was a long, long way from a hit, ranking as of January 11 at 523,497 on Amazon's bestseller list. It looked as though Murphy, 58, who since childhood had considered future fame, wealth and glory as inevitable, was destined to be disappointed again. But then that night, January 12, something
