MINNEAPOLIS – As we put an exclamation point on the 98th season in NFL history at Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis, it is fair to say the future of the game has rarely been more uncertain.
One year ago, the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons gave us one of the greatest games in the league’s history.
It is not unreasonable to believe the Philadelphia Eagles and the defending champion Patriots could match that performance again this Sunday.
While there are certainly some concerns about ambiguous rules, the quality of officiating and a perceived increase in the number of serious injuries, to name a few of the topics we’ve observed and debated this season, most would agree what ails the NFL is not the quality of the game or the abilities of the athletes who play it.
