The tush push may have survived this year, but it still seems its days are numbered.
The tush push is still a legal play (for now) after a vote of 22-10 earlier this week kept the change from happening. For a new rule to pass in the NFL, you need a super-majority of 75% in favor, meaning this proposal fell just short of adoption.
To make matters worse, the NFL chose the Green Bay Packers as the poster child for the rule change, to no avail. The Philadelphia Eagles didn’t take too kindly to that, but it will probably come back to haunt them in a year when this proposal most likely resurfaces.
