NFL sends warning to coaches with video tape

The NFL sent out a video to all of the league's head coaches in order to warn them that the controversial 'Push Rule' penalty that helped the Jets beat the Patriots last week will be enforced more often.

According to ESPN the video shows two plays from the Jets, Patriots game. One play showed New England defensive tackle Chris Jones pushing his teammate through the pile in an attempt to block Nick Folk's field goal. The flag was thrown on the play, which gave Folk the opportunity to hit a game-winning 42-yard field goal.

The next play in the video was of a Stephen Gostkowski field goal at the end of regulation as Quinton Coples did the same as Jones. The penalty was not called on the Jets for this play, but the league admitted that it should have been.

NY Daily News reports that the Jets made it known to the officials that the Patriots often commit this penalty. Bill Belichick said Tuesday that the Jets also use the pushing tactic. Rex Ryan responded to this by saying, "That's not true."
