Washington Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu, who was called for three offside penalties in a row when he prematurely hurdled over the line of scrimmage in the NFC championship game, is in support of a ban of the Tush Push—the Philadelphia Eagles' lethal short-yardage play.

The Tush Push is expected to be up for vote once again this week at scheduled NFL owners meetings after a proposal to ban the play was tabled last month at the league's annual meeting in Florida. The vote to ban the play was tied 16-16, according to ESPN. It would need 24 votes (two-thirds majority) to pass.
