- Broadcasters and analysts criticized the no-calls in real time, fueling calls for either tighter officiating emphasis or a future rule change.
- Green Bay led an offseason proposal to prohibit assisting the runner that received a 22–10 owners vote, falling two short of the 24 required for adoption.
- Philadelphia continues to deploy the tactic and its decoys in short yardage, converting quarterback sneaks at an 85.9% rate since 2021 according to Sportradar.
- Safety remains contested: Packers leadership has cited medical risk, while an NFL study found no tush-push injuries in 2024 and the league has announced no new rule.
