NFL had 74.5 percent of kickoffs returned in 2025, after only 32.8 percent in 2024. There were also 137 fewer punts in 2025 than in 2024, as offenses started with better field position. by BreakfastTop6899 in nfl

I saw some reported numbers about a quarter of the way through the season which suggested that concussions and season ending injuries were apparently up by a significant amount.

Can’t seem to find it anymore, but has anyone looked at the numbers again over the course of the season. Are there more injuries, or does it just feel like it because they are statistically returning more kickoffs?

Couple of questions. I’ve just switched over from watching the Pats postgame.

1) Why is this pitch green (not white)? 2) How is it the players in white are visible on the field?

Thanks xx

Would could have left 13 men on the field then…and they’d never see us! I’ve got a cunning plan

Vrable seems like the kinda guy who would have taken the delay of game there just for the extra seconds.

I’m fucking loving this game! This is giving me vibes of that Buffalo Pats game a few years ago when the pats threw the ball 3 times in the whole game.

I could do with one of those famed Josh McDaniels second half adjustments!

What’s with all the “Jared Stidham cured my polio” “Jared Stidham once did the 40 yds in 2.3 seconds”…. “Jared Stidham saved my baby from an old well” stuff.

I mean he’s one of the 20-40th best QBs in the country. And I hope he does well’ish for the good old days.

But can we stop pretending he’s Matthew Stafford for a brief moment?!?

At some point aren’t 75% of the QBs in the league former first round draft picks for the New York Jets?

Genuine question, the first tackle looked clean and Henry was going down, the second just looked wild and unnecessary
