Overview
- ESPN reports there are no assurances the play will be revisited for discussion or a vote after this season, with one source suggesting the issue be tabled for a year.
- The NFL’s weekly training video acknowledged at least one missed false start by right guard Tyler Steen in Week 2 and instructed crews to "officiate it tight" in short‑yardage formations.
- Philadelphia ran the play six times in a 20-17 win at Kansas City, converting it for four first downs and a touchdown, which intensified questions about enforcement.
- Owners fell two votes short of a ban in May (22 in favor, 24 needed), and with former Packers president Mark Murphy now retired, a new sponsor would be required to reintroduce a proposal.
- Several executives and coaches say inconsistent officiating could revive a successful ban push after the season, Jason Kelce predicts the play will be eliminated, and Nick Sirianni says the Eagles are coaching it the same way.
