FOXBOROUGH — If the tush push vote was scored like a football game, those in favor of keeping it in the game would have won by two touchdowns.
The league’s 32 franchises voted overwhelmingly to keep it in play for the foreseeable future. There were 22 teams in favor of keeping the controversial play legal, while ten were in favor of banning it.
The tush push is a variation of a quarterback sneak where several players line up behind the quarterback and push him forward over the line he is attempting to cross.
The play was popularized by the Eagles, but several other teams have used it.
