US EditionNFL expands replay assist, tweaks kickoffs and overtime, tables tush push ban
- On April 1, 2025, NFL team owners at the league meetings in Palm Beach, Florida, decided to table a proposal to ban the 'Tush Push' play, also known as the 'Brotherly Shove'.
- The proposal, notably from the Green Bay Packers, aimed to eliminate the play due to concerns about player safety and competitiveness, as the Eagles have used it successfully since 2022 to convert short-yardage situations.
- The 'Tush Push' involves two or three players lining up behind the quarterback, typically Jalen Hurts of the Eagles, and pushing him forward, with the Eagles converting 82.4% of their attempts last season.
- Coaches like Sean McVay and Sean McDermott have voiced concerns about the safety of the play, while others like Andy Reid acknowledge its effectiveness but also acknowledge potential risks, and the league has stated there haven't been reported injuries as a result of the tush push.
- While the decision on the 'Tush Push' was delayed until the next owners' meeting in Minnesota, owners approved changes to overtime rules, kickoff formats, and replay assist, including making the dynamic kickoff rule permanent and moving touchbacks to the 35-yard line, with regular-season overtime rules now matching those of the playoffs, guaranteeing each team a possession.
