The NFL's Health and Safety Committee and Competition Committee reportedly both voted in favor of banning the controversial Tush Push play on Wednesday.

Those league sources told The Athletic that 10 teams — including the Ravens, Patriots, Lions and Jets — voted against that proposal, put forth by the Green Bay Packers. A majority of the league ultimately voted for a ban, but the Packers’ proposal fell two votes shy of the required 24-vote threshold.

The final vote on the proposed ban of the Tush Push was 22-10, and at least 24 votes were needed to pass it. The Chicago Bears were one of the 22 teams who voted to ban the play.

The Jets were one of the ten teams to vote against the ban. The Super Bowl Champion Eagles have used the “tush push” to turn short yardage situations into almost automatic conversions. Using the mobile 6’1” 223 pound Jalen Hurts, the play has turned into a big advantage for Philadelphia.
