A host of new rule proposals have been submitted by various NFL teams, including a ban on the Tush Push, the short-yardage play made famous by the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, and altering playoff seeding based on record, with Wild Card winners possibly being seeded ahead of division champions.
The playoff proposal was submitted by the Detroit Lions, and it would be similar to what the NBA currently has, where teams are seeded by record, with division winners not being given preferred spots. The proposal would still have the No. 1 overall seed being the division winner with the best record, but a Wild Card qualifier with a 10-7 record would be seeded higher than a division winner with a 9-8 record.
