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.

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.
