The proposal, which included revised language, was voted down, meaning the tush push is here to stay for at least another season.

The Green Bay Packers' rule change proposal that would have banned the "Tush Push" play failed by a 22-10 vote at the league meetings in Minneapolis on Wednesday. The change required 24 votes, so the proposal fell two votes short.

Banning the tush push required 24 owners votes. The Packers couldn’t recruit enough votes at the meetings in Palm Beach, Fla., in late March and early April, reportedly persuading only 15 other owners to go along with their cause, and the vote was shelved. But they felt more confident this time around and seemed to have momentum on their side.
