MINNEAPOLIS — The future of the Philadelphia Eagles’ “tush push” quarterback sneak is uncertain as league officials prepare to vote on a proposed ban that could eliminate the play. The Green Bay Packers are pushing for a broader rule change to ban all pushing or aiding of the ball carrier, which could effectively end the tush push, a play that has proven highly successful for the Eagles and Buffalo Bills. While opinions on its impact differ, the decision may hinge on health and safety concerns, with past league trends suggesting that proposals framed around safety are more likely to pass.
