"Tush Push" vote tabled by NFL Owners
NFL owners tabled a proposal to ban the play on Tuesday during the league's annual meeting. The discussions that sparked drama throughout the week will continue indefinitely, rolling until a resolution is reached on whether the play is amended, prohibited or left alone.
A formal push to ban the play began when the Green Bay Packers submitted a proposal to the NFL's competition committee in February. Packers coach Matt LaFleur, speaking with reporters Tuesday, cited "injury concerns" and that "I don't think it's a great football play, it's more of a rugby play" for reasons why to remove it from the game. The latter was an irrelevant statement of opinion; the former a recycled assertion that the league itself has found no evidence to support.
Proposal to change playoff format gets tabled
Under this proposal, a wild-card team could be seeded higher than a division-winning team if the wild-card team has a better record. All division winners would still be guaranteed a playoff berth, but they wouldn't be guaranteed a home playoff game. If this rule had been in place last season, the 14-3 Vikings would have been the third seed in the NFC instead of the fifth seed. Apparently, quite a few teams liked this idea. Instead of voting it down, the owners decided to table it until the next league meeting in May, so it could get approved then.
The NFL's next league meeting is May 20-21 in Minnesota, so if there's a vote on the new playoff seeding format or the "Tush Push," that's when they'll take place.
The NFL also made a few announcements that didn't involve any rule changes and one of those involved the 2025 schedule. The league revealed that there will be a Christmas tripleheader in 2025. The holiday, which is on a Thursday this year, will feature two games on Netflix and one on Amazon.
