"NFL Commissioner Pushes for Permanent Ban on Eagles' 'Tush Push'"
The NFL is monitoring the quarterback push play, a controversial offensive strategy used by several teams, but there is no current push to eliminate it from the game. While Commissioner Roger Goodell's personal feelings on the matter may not matter, at least nine owners would need to vote to get rid of the play. The play has been effective for teams like the Philadelphia Eagles, and if more teams perfect it, it could lead to more yards, sustained drives, and points scored. Ultimately, the decision rests with the owners, and if at least nine of them support keeping the play, the Commissioner's opinion becomes irrelevant.
