Raiders stance on ‘tush push’ play revealed in vote

On Wednesday, the NFL owners made their decision on the ‘tush push’ play popularized by the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.

After a vote was made on April 1, where half the league agreed to ban it in a proposal made by the Green Bay Packers, the owners agreed to make a final decision later on. In order to effectively ban the play, they needed approval from 24 of the NFL’s 32 teams for a 75 percent majority.

However, the proposal only got approved by 22 teams, causing it to fail by a narrow margin. ESPN’s Adam Schefter revealed the ten teams that agreed to keep the play legal, including the Eagles.
