Despite the NFL owners swatting aside a ban on the 'Tush Push' play, fans are calling for it to be removed again after a pair of missed false starts on Monday Night Football.
In the game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Green Bay Packers, both teams ran the play - inspired by a rugby scrum - but did so by jumping early.
First, the Packers had both the linemen on the left side move early as quarterback Jordan Love was able to gain a first down in the first quarter.
Then, just a few minutes later, the Eagles managed to have their left and right guards jump early before the ball was snapped.
Referees have been criticized all year long for failing to recognize when the offensive line jumps offside too early.
On Monday evening, they were back to being angry once again - calling out the officials and bemoaning the play.

In the same quarter, the Eagles offensive line moved too early on their 'Tush Push' play
'They're 100% banning the tush push this offseason LMAO,' wrote one user on X.
Another joked, 'I have been radicalized by the woke left football mob and am ready to ban the tush push'.
'I seriously hope NFL owners get together and ban the Tush Push period. It's getting outrageous.'
NFL insider Jordan Schultz tweeted out videos of both incidents - calling them 'embarrassing' and 'pathetic' and adding, 'Not exactly a great start from the zebras'.
Neither team took advantage in the first half with the Packers and Eagles tied 0-0 for the first scoreless opening two quarters in two years.
The Eagles eventually broke the deadlock with a field goal in the third quarter. Philadelphia followed that up with a touchdown pass to DeVonta Smith in the fourth quarter to go up 10-0.
