NFL’s Tush Push Controversy Heats Up Again—No Ban Proposal This Offseason, But What’s Next?

NFL's Tush Push Controversy Heats Up Again—No Ban Proposal This Offseason, But What’s Next?

There was plenty of outrage over the play this past season, too. The Eagles, for example, scored a touchdown on a tush push despite officials clearly missing a false start on the play during their game in September.
