Another attempt at banning “Turh Push” has been brought to the NFL, and a team that fell in the playoffs to the Philadelphia Eagles, who made the play famous, is reportedly behind the rule.
Green Bay Packers, whose President Mark Murphy has come out against the card-yardage game, submitted a proposal to the NFL’s competition committee to ban it under Athletic.
In a question and question on the Packers’ team website, Murphy said he was against the play and said it is “almost an automatic first down on a farm or less.”

He also brought the Washington commanders’ attempts to stop it on the goal line during the NFC championship, which eventually caused the judges to warn them that they could award a score if they continued to jump offside.
“I’m not a fan of this spectacle,” Murphy said. “There is no skill involved, and it is almost an automatic first down to acting on a farm or less. The series of acting with the commanders jumping offside in the NFC Championship game to try to stop the piece was ridiculous.
“I want to see that the league forbids pushing or helping the runner (qb) on this spectacle. There used to be a rule prohibiting this but it is no longer enforced because I think it was assumed to be too difficult for the officials to see.

Now it is worth noting that Packers have made their own version of “Turh Push”, which goes a perfect 5-for-5 when the tight end tucker power comes under the middle of sneaky trials. They also converted two of them against the Eagles in the playoffs.

However, it is more traditional sneaky instead of the jal being hurt that is pushed by the tight end Dallas Goedert and runs back saquon Barkley from behind, making it almost impossible to stop the game.
Hurts scored the Super Bowl Lix’s first touchdown on the game from the goal line on the way to win, 40-22, over the historic searchers Kansas City Chiefs.
Other teams have tried their own version of “Tush Push,” but Eagles have mastered the piece and hit successfully on first-down conversions or touchdowns more than any team far.
Last offseason there was some heated debate about whether the play should remain in the game, but it never came to a vote.

League owners had to vote to get the game removed, which would be done in March.
