Tush Push Play Stays in NFL, Teams to Keep Using It

0:00It's March 25th, from breaking news to Sunday matchups, this is NFL News Today, powered by AI. The Tush Push play is sticking around for the 2026 NFL season. League honors decided against banning it, so teams can keep using the short yardish tactic without changes. NFL Network reporter Ian Rappaport noted that overall usage and success rates for the play have dropped this year compared to before. Last season, a proposal to outlaw the Tush Push came up just short, missing the 24 votes needed by only two. Instead, honors will vote on tweaks to on-side kicks and plans for handling referee work stoppages. Teams like the Philadelphia Eagles will keep relying on it to gain those crucial yards and tight spots, shaping how games play out down the stretch.
