However, the bold proposal reportedly didn't have the votes to pass. So on Wednesday morning the Lions withdrew it. The issue can be revisited in future years as a result, but in the immediate the playoff seeding structure will stay the same.

The NFL playoffs are staying the same ... for now, at least. The Detroit Lions scrapped a proposal that would drastically alter how the playoffs were seeded ahead of a league vote Wednesday, according to multiple reports.

According to The Athletic's Dianna Russini, NFL owners voted Wednesday to reject the proposal to ban the tush push, a play made famous by the Eagles that features players shoving the quarterback from behind to generate forward momentum.
