The NFL may soon prohibit the Eagles’ successful “tush push” play, which involves a ball carrier being pushed by a teammate, in response to teams struggling to defend against it. Saquon Barkley, the Eagles running back, criticized the potential ban as an excuse from teams that haven’t been able to stop the play, arguing that if they dislike it, they should improve their defense. As opposition to the tush push grows in the league, NFL owners are expected to vote on a rule change that could end the play at their upcoming meeting.
