NFL not expecting attempt to ban ‘tush push’

After heated debate over the "tush push" in 2025, NFL competition committee co-chairman Rich McKay said Sunday that he does not expect an attempt to ban the controversial short-yardage play.

"There's no team proposal that I've seen from it," McKay said following a day of meetings at the NFL combine in Indianapolis. "So, I wouldn't envision it. But you never know."

A proposal to ban the tush push fell short of the required 24 votes at the NFL owners meetings in May 2025, with ESPN reporting the final vote was 22-10.
