Eagles' short-yardage signature play has become one of the most controversial issues in the NFL and the Packers are the team that proposed getting rid of it during the offseason.
The Packers are hosting the Eagles on Monday, close to six months after Green Bay's amended proposal to ban the short-yardage play fell short of approval.
The Packers will face the Eagles on Monday night, seeing them for the first time since Green Bay led the charge to try to ban the tush push this offseason.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur would not say whether his opinion of the tush push has changed since his team's attempt to get the play banned failed this past offseason, saying "it is what it is."
Matt LaFleur's team fought to ban the "tush push." Now, the Green Bay Packers must find a way to stop the Philadelphia Eagles' unstoppable short-yardage weapon.

Packers couldn't stop Eagles' tush push during offseason. Now they'll try to contain it on the field
The Green Bay Packers couldn’t thwart the tush push during the offseason. Now they must try to find a way to stop it in a game. Green Bay proposed a ban on the play during the offseason, a measure that fell two votes short of passage.
The "Tush Push," or whatever the Eagles call it, is a short-yardage football play where the quarterback takes the snap and lunges forward. Two players push him from behind, helping him advance the ball. The play is incredibly successful for the Eagles on the goal line or when the team needs a single yard for a first down.
