Tush Push Ban: The NFL owners' vote on the Packers' request has been postponed. They want to talk more before making a choice. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported the news.
Why the Tush Push is Under Scrutiny
The 'tush push' is a play that requires little yardage. It was made famous by the Eagles. The teammates push the quarterback forward. This helps in gaining more yards.
According to the NFL, no serious injuries have been recorded. But there are still issues. Data on injury risk was presented by the league.

Sean McDermott, coach of the Bills, wants the play to be banned. He is concerned about the safety of the players.
"Player health comes first, even in the absence of much data," he said. Second only to the Eagles, the Bills make a lot of this play.
Competitive Edge or Unfair Advantage?
Some say that the game is slowed down by the play. The Packers think it throws off the rhythm of the game.
