7. Safety first
Player safety is going to be a big issue this year. That's probably bad news for the Broncos and Falcons. More flags and fines may be enforced if their offensive lines cause more injuries with cut and chop blocks. There will be no more horse collar tackles by Cowboys safety Roy Williams. Injuries have been increasing for years. For the past couple of years, the league took the position that the number of injuries had been the same. Finally, last year they recognized that injuries were increasing.
