(247NEWSSOURCE) – The tush push could become a thing of the past.
NFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent said yesterday that one team has submitted a rule proposal to outlaw the controversial play.
NFL Network reports that it was the Packers who proposed the ban, which could be voted on at the Annual League Meeting in late March.
The play has been looked at by the NFL and the competition committee in previous offseasons, but no action has been taken.
The Philadelphia Eagles and Buffalo Bills have scored a touchdown or gotten a first down on 87 percent of their tush push attempts.
The rest of the league has been successful just 71 percent of the time.
