NFL passes replay and kickoff tweaks but does not hold vote on Tush Push ban

On Tuesday, the NFL voted on several of the new rules proposals for the 2025 season, approving several tweaks to the existing playing rules for the upcoming year. The league’s owners voted to expand the replay assist program and to adjust the rules governing overtime and the new kickoff, and those changes will go into place for at least the coming season.

However, the Green Bay Packers’ proposal to ban the pushing of a ballcarrier from behind — outlawing the “Tush Push” — has been tabled for the time being, according to reports out of the league’s annual meeting in Florida.
