Future Of The Tush Push Comes Down To A Vote By Nfl Owners

The future of the "tush push" should be decided on Tuesday following debates about the safety of a play that's helped the Philadelphia Eagles win one Super Bowl and reach another.

NFL owners are set to vote on Green Bay's proposal to ban the play along with other potential rules changes, including playoff seeding and kickoffs.

Even though the league has said there haven't been any injuries reported as a result of the "tush push," the potential risk involved in Philadelphia's version of the quarterback sneak has sparked intense discussions.

The Packers, who lost to the Eagles in a wild-card playoff game, also cited pace of a play as a reason to consider eliminating the play. Rams coach Sean McVay is against it. Los Angeles also lost to Philadelphia in the playoffs. Bills coach Sean McDermott is leading the push to get rid of it even though Buffalo used it more than any team other than the Eagles.

It'll take 24 of 32 votes to approve the ban.
