  • The Green Bay Packers have formally proposed a rule change to ban the tush push and the Detroit Lions proposed that playoff seeding be done based on record instead of automatically placing division winners in the top four spots.

The NFL is considering several rule changes for the upcoming season, as discussed in a recent article from TribLive. Among the proposals is a potential ban on the "tush-push" play, also known as the "Brotherly Shove," which has been notably effective for the Philadelphia Eagles. This play involves a quarterback sneak with additional pushing from behind, raising concerns about player safety and the play's dominance in short-yardage situations. Additionally, there are proposals to alter playoff seeding, which could affect how teams qualify for the postseason. Other rule changes under consideration include modifications to instant replay, adjustments to the play clock, and changes to the roster cutdown process. These proposals will be debated at the NFL's annual league meeting, where team owners will vote on whether to implement these changes.
