Head Numbers

The NFL has a problem with concussions and head trauma. They have taken many steps to establish a concussion protocol that is consistent at every game and stadium.

In 2017, medical personnel identified 281 incidents compared to 243 in 2016.

I think the system in place is doing a better job in identifying them. It's a far cry from pervious decades when they used the term "he had his bell rung". They are taken more seriously now. The goal should be to decrease the amount and to identify every time it happens.
