The Green Bay Packers ' failed proposal to ban the "Tush Push" included a heated discussion between NFL owners and league executives, according to ESPN. The proposal did not pass despite 22 owners voting to ban the play that played an integral role in the Philadelphia Eagles ' recent Super Bowl win.

Iris Moore was driving on Academy Road in Northeast Philadelphia last month when she noticed a car switching lanes behind her. “He kept going behind me, next to me, behind me, next to me,” Moore said.

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 it 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.

The controversial “tush push” play will not be banned for the upcoming NFL season, according to multiple reporters covering the owners’ meeting in Minnesota.

Things reportedly got heated during Wednesday's NFL meetings as league owners and executives discussed the proposal to ban the tush push play that the Philadelphia Eagles have largely perfected.

The ban on offensive players from pushing, pulling, lifting, grasping or encircling a runner was reportedly supported by a 22-10 vote among team owners, two short of the three-quarters majority

Debate over the tush push led to a heated exchange between NFL owners and league executives, sources told ESPN.

The Lions voted to keep the "tush push" in football. Dan Campbell explained this spring why: “If you’ve got something, we’ve gotta stop it. So, like, to me, leave it in," he said at the owners meetings in April.
