Is it possible to be so good at one play the league bans it? Well, it could happen.
The Eagles were so good on short yardage using the QB sneak this season that the league is looking into banning the play.

Traditionally, this used to be a penalty. The famous USC-Notre Dame game decided by "the Bush Push" was very controversial. There was a penalty back in the day that said you couldn't "help or push" the runner (see number 24): ![](https://operations.nfl.com/media/5402/2021rulebook-signals-19-24.png) I don't think I've seen that official's signal since the early 80s, but it's in the rulebook.

Initially, I thought it was a good idea to ban it, but I'd rather they limit the number of shovers to 1 or 2.

Per ProFootballTalk - 'The final list of rule proposals for the upcoming annual meeting does not include a potential ban on pushing the ballcarrier.'Nobody can stop this anyway - it would still be successful 99.9% of the time even if it were outlawed - Freak of Nature - ![Jalen Hurts GIF - Jalen Hurts Squatting - Discover & Share GIFs](https://media.tenor.com/kyXQ6g01zn8AAAAC/jalen-hurts.gif) ![Jalen Hurts can squat roughly the weight of a black bear - SBNation.com](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/KAyF0uNhaDZRZAonFPF6qgqJKK8=/1400x1400/filters:format(png)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/13760365/Screen_Shot_2019_02_14_at_6.31.56_PM.png) Per Schefty - Zeke wants to play for the Eagles A small part of me wants to sign him - just so I can watch him help Jalen convert on 4th and 1 vs. The Cowboys multiple times a year But I have a feeling we're going to shock the world and Draft Bijan coming up
