The NFL should not ban the "tush push." Teams need to learn how to defend it. Josh Allen - while they do not do the tush push - is a big QB that always go to his left on QB sneaks. No tush push but teams can't seem to stop it.

Here is a novel plan. Teams should defend the Eagles so they are not in a 1 yard or less to go for a first down.

The NFL used to have a rule that no player on offense can push or pull the ball for extra yards. Reinstate that rule.

The NFL Rules committee should modify it so that ONLY ONE PLAYER can PUSH, not multiple ones.............

Actually the Bills do try the push. But they’re no good at it. They tried it 3 times in the AFC Championship, failed to convert the down all 3 times. It’s actually a much harder play than people think. And not terribly pleasant for the QB (you try having a 250 pound RB push you through 300 pound linemen). I think Allen wanted it banned so the Bills would stop calling it.
