A vote on the 'Tush Push' was reportedly tabled until May during the NFL League Meetings on Tuesday (April 1), a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
"Discussions on the tush push have been tabled until a later date, source said," Rapoport wrote on his X account.
The NFL planned to have a vote among its 32 team owners on whether the 'Tush Push,' a play most effectively used by the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles for the past several seasons, would be banned. The status of the 'Tush Push' is one of the most debated topics at the ongoing NFL League Meetings, with the Green Bay Packers having proposed to ban the play.
Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott is leading the push to ban the play, despite his team having used it more than anyone else excluding the Eagles. The ban would need to be approved by 24 of the NFL's 32 owners.
The league owners did, however, approve plans to expand replay assist and revisit overtime rules, a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed to the Associated Press. Regular-season overtime rules will now match the playoffs, allowing both teams the chance to get a possession even if a touchdown is scored on the opening drive. Additionally, overtime was amended to be 10 minutes instead of 15 minutes in play time.
The owners also approved a proposal to allow replay assist to consult on-field officials to overrule objective calls if there was "clear and obvious" evidence that a foul didn't occur.
