A proposal to ban the tush push, a play popularized by the Philadelphia Eagles, failed to pass at an NFL spring meeting Wednesday in Eagan, Minn.

According to The Athletic's Dianna Russini, NFL owners voted Wednesday to reject the proposal to ban the tush push, a play made famous by the Eagles that features players shoving the quarterback from behind to generate forward momentum.

When that failed to pass in early April, the Packers aligned language more closely with a pre-2005 policy that banned players from pushing or pulling a runner, or lifting a runner to their feet.
