The Green Bay Packers’ proposal to ban the tush push, along with other forms of pulling and shoving, fell short at the NFL’s spring league meetings on Wednesday. According to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, 10 teams voted against the proposal, meaning there was a 22-10 vote count. For rule proposals to pass, 24 clubs have to approve, so the proposal fell just two votes short.
Finally, we can put this whole tush push saga behind us.
Don’t think that the Philadelphia Eagles, the team that pushed their quarterback through piles more than any other club in the NFL over the last few years, will be forgetting about this anytime soon, though.
