The origins of the play date back to a 20-year-old choice.

Mine, I felt like the guys were moving. That&#8217;s why I was griping about it on the sideline there with the officials. But sometimes people see things different. So we&#8217;ll see where it goes. They&#8217;ll have a chance to evaluate it, and I&#8217;ll be curious to see what the response is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dims.apnews.com\/dims4\/default\/efb0291\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/5538x3692+0+0\/resize\/599x399!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.apnews.com%2F24%2Fe9%2Fbc65690c7a7bbdd1c2da1413bd05%2F5094c35f5fbb45b1b62107e12dded0e2\" alt=\"Problems officiating tush push could be new argument to support banning it  | AP News\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Rams coach Sean McVay said he wants scrutiny by the league office.
