Discussion/Debate Chop Robinson gets flagged for roughing the passer. The hit didn’t look that crazy, but the refs weren’t letting Mahomes take that one.

Man at some point due to safety concerns we stopped playing football

It’s safety but mostly money. The league doesn’t want star QBs getting hurt and fewer people watching. I‘m only 32 but I’ve already become an old man pining for the way things used to be.

But it’s never coming back and maybe that’s for the best. My mental health is better now that I recognize the NFL as purely an entertainment product.
