NFL Owners Revisit 'Tush Push' Ban Vote

NFL team owners are meeting in Minneapolis this week to revisit a proposed ban on the 'Tush Push,' a quarterback sneak play popularized by the Philadelphia Eagles where offensive players push the quarterback forward for short yardage. The Green Bay Packers formally submitted the proposal, and the play has been widely criticized by some rivals, including Washington Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu, who likened it to a rugby scrum and called for its ban. Despite concerns about the play's fairness and aesthetics, NFL data indicates it has not increased injuries. A previous vote on the ban in April ended in a deadlock, but owners are expected to make a decision soon. The outcome could significantly alter short-yardage tactics across the league. Approval requires support from 24 of the 32 owners.
