The NFL is always making adjustments to the game. In most instances, fans, media and players don’t like the changes that are made but the league generally doesn’t care. That doesn’t mean they don’t care about the fans and players but they tend to focus on other factors.
Since concussion lawsuits rocked the NFL years ago, safety has been one of the key factors that has been noted for many of the changes. Whether that is to how quarterbacks can be hit, blocking rules on kickoffs or tackling rules, the league seems focused on making it look like safety is a priority.
