Packers' Tush Push Ban Proposal Facing Uphill Battle, Insider Says

Green Bay has proposed a ban for Philadelphia's lethal short yardage play.

The Green Bay Packers have proposed that the "tush push"—the lethal short yardage play for the Philadelphia Eagles in which the two players in the backfield push the quarterback forward on quarterback sneaks—be banned.

The issue for the Packers is that it is unclear whether the proposal to ban the play, which has been nearly unstoppable over the last few seasons, will pass. Out of the 32 NFL owners voting on the proposal, the Packers need 24 owners to agree with the ban, and it doesn't look like a guarantee that they'll receive that support, according to a report from Mark Maske of The Washington Post.
