The play itself is essentially a quarterback sneak in which Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is pushed from behind. There was a charge to get the play as it is currently run banned from the NFL this past offseason, but the vote failed. There were 22 teams that voted to ban the play and 10 that voted in favor of it to stay in the game. Those 10 teams were the Philadelphia Eagles, Baltimore Ravens, New England Patriots, Detroit Lions, Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins, New Orleans Saints, Tennessee Titans, and New York Jets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_dw8aemu84\">The teams voting to get the play banned were two votes away from being successful. It&#8217;s a play that is hard to stop, but also gets one or two yards typically when successful. Plus, every team in the National Football League can at least attempt to run the play. The Eagles simply do it better because of the combination of Hurts, a massive &#8212; and best &#8212; offensive line, and the other pieces around. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_dxprxryst\">We&#8217;re just two weeks into the 2025 regular season and the play was in the spotlight on Sunday. On replay, it appeared that a few times the Eagles may have gone early, but flags weren&#8217;t thrown.
