Indianapolis Colts among teams to vote against 'Tush Push' play
Indianapolis Colts among teams to vote against 'Tush Push' play The Indianapolis Colts were among the 22 teams that voted to eliminate the 'Tush Push' play.
The Indianapolis Colts were not among the 10 teams that voted to keep the 'Tush Push' play for the 2025 NFL season. Instead, they were among the 22 that voted to have the play banned.
On Wednesday, the NFL's 32 owners voted on the proposed ban, which was initiated earlier this offseason by the Green Bay Packers. The NFL needed 24 votes to ban the play, but ended up with only 22.
Here are the 10 teams that voted against the 'Tush Push' ban
Philadelphia Eagles
Baltimore Ravens
Cleveland Browns
Detroit Lions
Jacksonville Jaguars
Miami Dolphins
New England Patriots
New Orleans Saints
New York Jets
Tennessee Titans
It's a little bit surprising that the Colts weren't on the above list. During the NFL owners meetings back in March, both Shane Steichen and Chris Ballard voiced their support of the 'Tush Push' play. Steichen also coached in Philadelphia under head coach Nick Sirianni.
However, since then, the Packers changed the wording around the potential rule change, which did sway some of the voters. Originally, 16 teams were in favor of the rule change, and on Wednesday, it was up to 22.
This proposed change was voted on only by the 31 NFL owners and Packers' President Mark Murphy.

Raiders legend Tim Brown names 1 rule he'd take from arena football and implement in NFL
Pro Football Hall of Famer Tim Brown played 16 years with the Raiders organization when the team was in Los Angeles and later in Oakland. He was a nine-time Pro Bowler and named to the All-1990s Team for his efforts with the Raiders and narrowly missed out on a Super Bowl title. Still, without the ring, he is one of the greatest receivers of all-time with 1,094 catches for 14,934 yards and 100 touchdowns. Brown now serves as the chairman and commissioner of The Arena League – an indoor football league featuring six teams and 7-on-7 football on the field. He appeared on "Up & Adams" on Tuesday and was asked which rule he would bring to the NFL from the arena game. "Getting rid of kickers," Brown told Adams. "We have no kicking in our league. Getting rid of kickers. I owned an (arena football team) years ago and kicking was the worst part of the game. Obviously, the poles were narrow, and it made it very difficult for those guys. "It really slowed the game down. It just wasn't what you want to see – you're talking about fast-paced games. Now we have a throw-off. These guys literally throw the ball and it's the best thing ever. I know it would never happen. I got a lot of friends who were kickers in the league. But it works. It makes for a very fun-paced, fast-paced, fun game and I think it's a beautiful thing." The NFL has certainly made a few rule changes around the kickoff, while the United Football League has taken away kicking when it comes to points after touchdowns. Any rule change in the league would need to be approved by 24 of the 32 owners. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Aaron Rodgers says continuing to play football was ‘best for my soul' as he reveals he's now married
After months of speculation, Aaron Rodgers finally signed a deal to become the Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback last week and set up another fascinating chapter in his Hall of Fame career. The 41-year-old inked a one-year, $13.6 million dollar contract with the Steelers in an attempt to bring Super Bowl success back to a franchise which has gone 16 years without a Vince Lombardi Trophy and 14 years since their last appearance in the season-ending game; coincidentally, it was Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers who beat the Steelers in their last Super Bowl appearance in 2011. On his first day of mandatory minicamp in Pittsburgh on Tuesday, Rodgers said that despite being the oldest quarterback in the league, he's still playing because it's what he wants to do. 'For my ego, I don't need it to keep playing,' Rodgers told reporters. 'A lot of decisions that I've made over my career and life from strictly the ego – even if they turn out well – are always unfulfilling. 'But the decisions made from the soul are usually pretty fulfilling. So this was a decision that was best for my soul. I felt like being here with coach (Mike Tomlin) and the guys they got here and the opportunity here was best for me. I'm excited to be here.' Rodgers' signing saga divided many given the length of time it took – most notably, Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw said he didn't want the former Packers and New York Jets star anywhere near the team – but with the four-time NFL MVP at the helm, the Steelers look a formidable outfit. He is coming off two disappointing seasons with the Jets, including one which was lost to a torn Achilles tendon just four plays into his first year with the franchise. Although he failed to have the success his signing was meant to bring to Gang Green, Rodgers still showed glimpses of producing like a top-level quarterback last year. Now, he joins up with Tomlin and an offense led by wide receiver DK Metcalf, who joined in the offseason. Before Rodgers' signing, videos on social media showed the pair working out in California. Rodgers – who also revealed on Tuesday that he got married this offseason – was complimentary of Metcalf after his first day of practice with the team, but highlighted head coach Tomlin as the main reason he decided to join. 'I've gone against him over the years. The way that the conversations went between him and I, whenever it was in March or April and the last Sunday when I called him was some of the coolest conversations I had in the game,' he said. 'So he's a big reason of why I'm here and I'm excited to play for him.' While Steelers fans might be excited at the prospect of Rodgers playing in the Steel City, other members of the NFL are enthusiastic about it for a different reason. Myles Garrett – who plays for the Steelers' AFC North rivals, the Cleveland Browns – was asked about Rodgers' addition to the division on Tuesday and his answer was unequivocal. 'What do I think about it? I think it's a good opportunity to put him in the graveyard,' Garrett told reporters. Garrett, the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year, is famous for his extravagant Halloween decorations. He has decorated the front yard of his house as a graveyard filled with tombstones adorned with the names of every quarterback he has sacked over his career. In 2021, Garrett wore a Grim Reaper-style costume with a cloak emblazoned with the names of the quarterbacks he'd sacked. Garrett's first opportunity to add Rodgers to that list comes in Week 6 as the Browns travel to Pittsburgh before Cleveland hosts the Steelers in Week 17.

Aaron Rodgers reveals he got married but Steeler QB's wife remains a mystery
Aaron Rodgers revealed on Tuesday that he recently got married — but the identity of his new wife remains a mystery. The four-time NFL MVP quarterback and Super Bowl champion said Tuesday after his first practice with the Pittsburgh Steelers that he got married "a couple months ago." Rodgers was spotted wearing a ring on his left ring finger in a photo the Steelers shared after the 41-year-old signed a one-year deal to join the team for the 2025 season. When asked if the ring was an indication he was married, Rodgers replied, "Yeah, it's a wedding ring." He wore the ring on Tuesday while participating in drills with his new team. Rodgers has revealed little about his bride. During an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" in December, he mentioned he was dating a woman named Brittani, saying "she doesn't have social media," but offered no other details. In another appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" in April, Rodgers again confirmed he was "in a serious relationship," but it isn't clear whether Brittani is the woman Rodgers married during the 2025 offseason. His previous dating history includes long-term relationships with race car driver Danica Patrick and actors Olivia Munn and Shailene Woodley.
