The Green Bay Packers have formally proposed a rule change to ban the tush push and the Detroit Lions proposed that playoff seeding be done based on record instead of automatically placing division winners in the top four spots.

The Detroit Lions have proposed two big NFL rule adjustments ahead of the 2025 League Meeting. Detroit wants the automatic first down to be eliminated from the rules against illegal contact and defensive holding.

Under the Lions' proposal, wild-card teams could have first-round home playoff games instead of division champs.
