Eagles' Nick Sirianni jokingly calls on Colts' Shane Steichen to protect 'tush push'

Philadelphia Eagles' head coach Nick Sirianni jokingly called on Indianapolis Colts' head coach Shane Steichen and other former assistants to vote on keeping the tush push legal.

Among the topics of conversation this week at the NFL's annual league meetings are potential rule changes. One of the proposals made by the Green Bay Packers earlier in the offseason was to ban the tush push--a short-yardage play that the Eagles have perfected.
