There isn’t enough pushback yet.
NFL owners couldn’t come to a conclusion about the tush push at this week’s league meetings in Palm Beach, Fla., according to ESPN.
The Brotherly Shove — which is Philadelphia’s signature short-yardage play — has been the hottest topic this week between NFL owners as a potential ban of this new version of a quarterback sneak has gained momentum.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that it could be discussed again at the May meetings and “could be pushed forward once more support is gathered.”
A proposal would need a “yes” vote from 24 of the 32 owners to approve the ban.
Last month, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst confirmed that his team put in the proposal to put an end to the controversial play.
Some, including Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott, have stood by their stance to ban the tush push for safety reasons.
Others have argued that there isn’t enough data to support injury concerns.
In December 2023, The Athletic reported that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell wanted to see it removed from the game permanently.
