The Green Bay Packers' proposal to ban the controversial "tush push" play appears to be losing traction as the NFL’s annual league meetings approach. According to Mark Maske of The Washington Post, it remains "unclear whether the Packers' proposed ban of the tush push will get the 24 votes among the 32 NFL owners necessary to be approved."
Even within the NFL competition committee, sentiment regarding the ban is reportedly "mixed"—a sign that the proposal faces an uphill battle in securing the required supermajority when owners vote next week.
The Philadelphia Eagles have turned the tush push—where players in the backfield push the quarterback forward on sneaks—into a nearly unstoppable weapon over the past few seasons.
