The 'Tush Push' may not be a play that is associated with the Buffalo Bills, but that doesn't mean the team isn't affected by the current debate going on regarding it.
As owners and the NFL's competition committee meets in Florida for league meetings, a massive subject is the rule change by the Green Bay Packers that would effectively end the Philadelphia Eagles historic 'Tush Push' play.
The Tush Push is essentially a variation of the quarterback sneak where players line up behind the quarterback and helped escort him into converting a short-yardage situation.
Philadelphia created the play in 2022, but the Bills ran the play just as much at times this season with their success rate over 80%.
As the debate continues, an article from ESPN's Kalyn Kahler has detailed the mindset from some around the league on the play and the rule change to ban it.
"It's weak," a club executive said. "It's punishing a team who became excellent at executing the play. In 2022, when Philadelphia was the only team doing it, there was a concern that it made the game less compelling because fourth-and-short was no longer in doubt. Then other teams copied it, and they can't do it as well.
"It reeks of jealousy."

Allen was stuffed twice in the AFC Championship game on the play but saw the Eagles run it successfully once in the Super Bowl.
As the debate rages on, a full vote is expected to come in relatively soon in the next couple of days.
And the Bills and Eagles will be the ones directly affected by it shortly.
