Isn't it illegal to push a teammate into the end zone for a touchdown.

I see this all the time in both College and NFL

It was illegal to help push the ball carrier anywhere on the field not just TDs

b. The ball carrier shall not grasp a teammate; and no other player of his team
shall grasp, pull, or lift him to assist him in forward progress. (A.R. 9-3-2-I)



so yes you can push the ball carrier now days

Wasn't that the play that was called in that Jets/Pats game earlier this year?
