Bills Coach McDermott Raises Safety Concerns Over Tush Push Play

Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott has raised concerns over the 'tush push' play, questioning its safety and potential for causing player injuries. Despite its effectiveness, notably used by the Bills and Eagles, McDermott, a member of the NFL's competition committee, has expressed discomfort with the play's optics and its injury risks. The Green Bay Packers have proposed a ban on the play, citing concerns over its lack of skill and safety issues. This proposal will be considered at the upcoming NFL owners' meeting, where at least 24 teams must agree for it to pass. McDermott's views are significant given his team's frequent use of the play, adding weight to safety discussions. The NFL plans to examine injury data related to the play, as concerns about its impact on player health continue to mount.
