Saquon Barkley Strongly Claps Back at People Trying to Ban 'Tush Push'

Fans were unhappy about the Packers' reasons to try to ban the play, but they aren't the only ones with a response to the NFC North franchise. 

A video shared by "SportsCenter" on Wednesday shows Eagles star Saquon Barkley responding to all the teams pushing for this ban. The running back, who became the ninth player to run for at least 2,000 rushing yards in 2024, had a strong response. 

"If you don't like it, get better at stopping it," Barkley said. "It's not a play that we only could do. Everybody does it, everyone tries it. We're just super successful at it; they were super successful before I was there.

"I know what it does to a team, how it breaks down a team and now being on a team, you're lining up and everyone knows what you're doing. It's like 'Stop me,' and they can't. They're gonna get in their feels about it, will try to make changes, but I don't see that happening."

Philadelphia dominated opposing defenses with that play, while Barkley ran through opponents like they were cones. As defending champions, the Eagles will have a target on their backs, and teams are using different tactics to get better at the play. 

The Packers' proposal will need 24 of 32 votes to change the rule, but the new voting date is yet to be announced.
