Creating a safer game has been one of the key objectives for the NFL in recent years.
From more advanced equipment to evolving rules, the league is implementing new techniques to increase player safety every season. Week 5 this year proved why there’s room for improvement — with multiple quarterbacks and players leaving games with concussions and injuries following helmet-to-helmet hits.
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones was one of the most prominent examples, along with New Orleans Saints’ Taysom Hill.
While joining WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show” on Monday, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick explained why he’s in favor of the evolving rules.
