PALM BEACH, Fla. — The Bears were among the 16 teams that voted to ban the “Tush Push,” chairman George McCaskey said Wednesday. The vote total fell well short of the 24 needed to ban the Eagles’ patented sneak in which the quarterback is shoved from behind.
“I know they say that we don’t have sufficient injury data on it, but, to us, it appears to be an inherently unsafe play,” McCaskey said at The Breakers, the oceanfront resort where the NFL held its annual meeting this week.
