Green Bay’s packers want the TUSH to escape NFL, but there are two other rules of rules that will be voted, the League football operations department announced on Wednesday.
Packers were reported to be the team that sent an official proposal to ban the game that the Eagles of Philadelphia made famous.
But it is official now after football operations have indicated that packers wish to modify rule 12, section 1.
The official proposal for modifying packers’ rules “would prohibit an attacking player from pushing a teammate who was aligned directly behind the Vivaneau and receives the SNAP, immediately to the SNAP.”

The proposal also indicates that a penalty would be assessed on any offensive player who violates the rule. Tush’s push was popularized by the Eagles during the 2022 campaign. Green Bay saw it last season, and the Eagles used it several times during their clash in the playoffs on the path of the Victoire du Super Bowl.
But the packers were not the only team to look for changes in 2025.
The second of the three changes in the proposed rules came from the Lions of Detroit, who wish to see rule 8, article 4, changed “to eliminate a first automatic descent as a penalty imposed for defensive detention and illegal contacts”.

The current rule for illegal contacts and defensive detention is a loss of five meters and a first automatic descent, and the Lions say that it is a too steep penalty.
The Lombardi Trophy Winner Eagles are looking to “align the sequence rules according to playoffs and regular season by granting the two teams the opportunity to have the ball, regardless of the result of the first possession, subject to a period of 15 minutes in prolongation in the regular season.”

The overtime rule has been discussed for a long time before the NFL ultimately changed it to allow the two teams to have possession only in the playoffs. The regular season has the old rules, which indicate a hit by the team first in possession of football ends the match, giving the opponent any chance of refutation.
The Lions are also looking for two settlement proposals for the 2025 season during the annual League meeting. They want a better sowing for joker teams.
They propose that the structure of the change of sowing in the playoffs to allow the joker teams with better records that the division champions are classified higher in the playoffs. Regardless of the record, the four winners of the division of each conference get a home match to start the playoffs.
Some Joker teams end with better records than their opponents in Joker’s Channel.

In 2024, the Vikings of Minnesota went 14-3 during the regular season and had to travel to face the Rams of Los Angeles, winners of the NFC South at 10-7, on the road. The Vikings lost 27-9 in the Channel of the Joker. Packers also had a better record than Rams at 11-6 but were the seventh seeded.
All these changes will be voted at the annual meeting, which begins on March 30.
