The league and the NFL competition committee reviewed the technique during the offseason and gave consideration to banning it on player-safety grounds but took no action. The concern was that if defenses begin to stack up enough defenders in the middle of the line of scrimmage to push back effectively against the offensive players pushing the quarterback toward the end zone, the quarterback would be caught in the middle of two enormous masses of humanity.

Allen’s sister, Jody Allen, is a trustee and has served as the team’s de facto owner. If the Seahawks are sold before May 2024, they would owe 10 percent of the sale price to the state of Washington, under the terms of a 1997 referendum that funded the construction of Lumen Field.

The game drew 15.1 million viewers, based on Nielsen’s standard National TV Ratings.
