Chiefs super bowl

Even the winning coach, Andy Reid, questions the NFL’s overtime setup. One day after Reid’s Chiefs won the OT coin toss, then marched downfield for Travis Kelce’s 8-yard touchdown reception to end an epic divisional-round game with the Bills, Reid recognized how fortunate Kansas City was to prevail 42-36. “I had a chance to talk with Sean afterward,” Reid said of Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott, “and that I’m sure is something they’re going to look at again, too. ...

One study found C.T.E. in 110 of 111 deceased N.F.L. players . That alarm seems to have been replaced by a type of theater around concussions. In the first quarter of last night’s thrilling playoff game between the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City … [Read more...] about We Used to Care That Football Players Got Concussions
