The NFL Tush Push Ban Proposal Is Back on the Table at the Spring Owners Meetings
- The Green Bay Packers proposed banning the short-yardage push play popularized by the Philadelphia Eagles at the NFL spring meetings in Minnesota on Tuesday and Wednesday.
- The Green Bay Packers’ proposal to ban a play popularized by the Philadelphia Eagles, initially postponed several weeks back to allow more debate, seeks to improve player safety and game tempo, but it must receive the approval of at least 24 out of the 32 teams to be adopted.
- The NFL introduced an updated proposal that expands the restriction to ban any offensive player from physically assisting the ball carrier through actions such as pushing, pulling, lifting, or surrounding them, extending beyond just quarterback aids, while Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie continued to support the tactic.
- Lurie noted the lack of conclusive NFL data linking the tactic to increased injury risk, while opponents like the Buffalo Bills support the ban for safety reasons, and a vote is expected soon.
- The ban’s outcome could affect the fairness and fun of the game, particularly for playoff contenders like the Packers and Eagles, and follows other proposed rule changes affecting seeding and onside kicks.
