[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 529927"] The data does not seem to bear that out, and I fail to see the logical connection between your first sentence and the second. Anyway, here's some data that might help explain things: [url]http://mmqb.si.com/2013/12/04/nfl-injury-increase-2013/[/url] "In the past five seasons, the total number of ACL injuries has ranged from 48 (2011) to 56 (2009, 2012), including four additional weeks of the regular season and four weeks of the postseason. If the 2013 regular-season rate of ACL injuries continues, the total would be at about 57 before the playoffs begin; the last three postseasons have resulted in between one and four ACL injuries. Only the final numbers will tell the full story, but [B]the 2013 season could yield the greatest number of ACL injuries in an NFL season on record, even if not the dramatic surge it may have seemed like[/B]." In other words, the 2013 % increase over the mean might seem large, but it amounts to only a handful more incidents than usual if this regular season / post season projection holds up. Further: "Of the 50 ACL injuries suffered this season, we were able to find clear video footage or detailed descriptions of how the injury happened for 32 of them, and Keller’s was the only ACL injury in that sample size that occurred because a defender went low on his opponent to make a tackle. We recorded eight of these 32 ACL injuries resulting from contact: Besides Keller’s, examples included a knee crashed into at the line of scrimmage, or one offensive lineman accidentally cut-blocking his own teammate, as happened with Pittsburgh’s David DeCastro and Maurkice Pouncey. The other 24 ACL injuries we classified as non-contact injuries. [B]West says that studies show about 70 percent of ACL tears result from non-contact injuries; our unofficial sample, showing 75 percent [for 2013] non-contact injuries, is on par with that figure[/B].[/quote] [/QUOTE]
