On Wednesday, the tush push ban died a calamitous death. After months and months and months of debate, the NFL did not get the votes they needed to ban the controversial play. While the majority of team owners wanted the play out of the game, the league requires two-thirds votes to pass new bylaws, and they came up two votes short (22-10).
The Detroit Lions were one of the 10 dissenters, and I wrote up why I think the lack of a tush push ban actually Detroit, but based on the reaction from Wednesday’s news, I get the sense fans are still very split on the topic.
