Competition Committee hasn't seen a team propose a tush push ban this year
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- A proposal to ban the "tush push" play, introduced by the Packers, failed to secure the 24 votes needed during the 2025 offseason.
- The play remained in use by teams like the Eagles, though defenses had increased success in stopping it, and Eagles QB Jalen Hurts noted it was becoming more difficult to execute.
- The reduced effectiveness of the play appears to have diminished momentum for revisiting the ban, with Competition Committee co-chair Rich McKay indicating no new similar proposals have been submitted.
- The NFL Competition Committee will continue discussions on potential rule changes this week, with any new proposals subject to a full league vote later in the offseason.
