Another season of the “Brotherly Shove” is coming soon after NFL owners failed to pass a proposal to ban the rugby-style, short-yardage play commonly employed by the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.A proposal to eliminate any play involving pushing or shoving ballcarriers forward did not receive the required 24 votes of support on Wednesday at the NFL owners meetings in Eagan, Minn. ESPN reported the final vote was 22-10.The Eagles brought a secret weapon for their pre-vote argument on Wednesday. Retired center Jason Kelce joined the Philadelphia contingent led by franchise owner Jeffrey Lurie to present the team’s argument for maintaining the legality of the play.Shortly after the vote was taken and it was clear a ban wouldn’t be implemented, the Eagles posted a picture of Jalen Hurts under center against the Green Bay Packers with the words “Push On” above the quarterback’s head.
