POTENCIA OFENSIVA EN KANSAS CITYKANSAS CITY CHIEFS (4-1) está listo para recibir a BUFFALO BILLS (4-1) en una revancha del memorable choque divisional de la temporada pasada. Los equipos entran al enfrentamiento del domingo (4:25 PM, hora de New York, CBS) como las dos mejores ofensivas anotadoras en la liga, con Kansas City promediando 31.8 puntos por partido y Buffalo 30.4. Bills también ingresa en la sexta semana empatado en puntos permitidos en la liga (12.2 por partido).  

El del domingo marcará el primer partido desde 2019 (Baltimore contra San Francisco en la semana 13) con las dos mejores ofensivas en puntos anotados de la liga en la sexta semana o más tarde.

Esta será la quinta vez que JOSH ALLEN y PATRICK MAHOMES se enfrentarán como mariscales de campo titulares opuestos, incluyendo postemporada, con Kansas City ganando cuatro de los primeros cinco encuentros. En los enfrentamientos previos, Allen totalizó 12 anotaciones (11 pasando, una acarreando) y un índice de pasador de 105.1, mientras que Mahomes registró 11 anotaciones (10 pasando, una acarreando) y un índice de pasador de 108.1.

Mahomes ingresa en la sexta semana como líder de la liga en pases anotadores (15) esta temporada, mientras que Allen se ubica segundo con 14. Esto marca el primer partido desde 2011 (AARON RODGERS contra MATTHEW STAFFORD en la semana 12) con los dos líderes de la liga en pases anotadores en la sexta semana o más tarde.

El ala cerrada de Kansas City TRAVIS KELCE lidera la liga con siete recepciones anotadoras esta temporada, tras convertirse la semana pasada en el cuarto ala cerrada en la historia, y primero desde JIMMIE GILES en 1985, con cuatro recepciones anotadoras en un solo partido. Marcó el noveno partido de su carrera con múltiples recepciones anotadoras.

Con dos recepciones anotadoras el domingo, Kelce puede convertirse en el sexto ala cerrada en la era del Super Bowl con múltiples recepciones anotadoras en 10 o más partidos de su carrera.

Los 11 titulares – Espectáculos dobles, regresos y reuniones emergen en la sexta semana de la NFL

Algo tiene que suceder.

El cronograma de la sexta semana incluye dos partidos que involucran a equipos con cuatro o más victorias, y los cuatro clubes en esos partidos vienen de victorias destacables.

  • BUFFALO (4-1) viaja a KANSAS CITY (4-1) el domingo (4:25 PM, hora de New York, CBS) en revancha de su duelo de postemporada 2021 que muchos denominaron como el más grandioso en la historia de la NFL. En 2022, Chiefs (31.8 puntos por partido) y Bills (30.4) lideran la liga en puntos anotados, mientras que la defensiva de Buffalo (12.2) está empatada para la menor cantidad de puntos permitidos por partido.
  • Entonces, el clásico de domingo en la noche Sunday Night Football (8:15 PM, hora de New York, NBC), DALLAS (4-1) visita a PHILADELPHIA (5-0) en una batalla temprana por la supremacía de la NFC Este. Eagles encabeza la NFL en índice de entrega de balón (+9) mientras que Cowboys (+5) está empatado en el segundo puesto. Cada club tiene apenas dos entregas, empatando la menor cantidad en la liga.

Esto marca apenas la segunda vez en las últimas 43 temporadas (1980-2022) en que múltiples partidos de sexta semana emparejan a equipos con al menos cuatro victorias. En la sexta semana de la temporada 2020, Kansas City (4-1) obtuvo un triunfo 26-17 visitando a Buffalo (4-1), mientras que Pittsburgh (4-0) registró una victoria 38-7 sobre Cleveland (4-1).

También en el foco de lo importante de la sexta semana: una de las marcas más gloriosas, rostros familiares en sitios conocidos y equipos sorpresivos dejando su huella. Preparen las palomitas de maíz y siéntense cómodos para un fin de semana repleto de emociones.

Los 11 Titulares ingresando en la sexta semana…

1.     PAPÁ OSO A LA VISTABILL BELICHICK, de los Patrios, y quien fungió como entrenador en jefe de Brown en 1991-95, tiene 323 triunfos combinados en temporada regular y postemporada.

Solamente DREW BREES en 2018 (77.9 por ciento), ALEX SMITH en 2017 (76.6) y el miembro del Salón de la Fama PEYTON MANNING en 2013 (75.8) tuvieron porcentajes de pases completos superiores.

La NFC Este incluye a tres equipos con marca de 4-1 o mejor. PHILADELPHIA (5-0) es el único equipo invicto, incluyendo una marca de 3-0 fuera de casa. DALLAS (4-1) ganó cuatro partidos seguidos, incluyendo victorias sobre los dos equipos protagonistas del Super Bowl en la temporada 2021. Y NEW YORK GIANTS (4-1) ostenta triunfos de visitante sobre cada uno de los preclasificados Nº 1 en la postemporada 2021, Tennessee y Green Bay.

  • La NFC Este es apenas la cuarta división desde la realineación de la NFL, en 2002, con tres equipos obteniendo al menos cuatro victorias a lo largo de las primeras cinco semanas de una temporada. Eso también sucedió en 2002 (AFC Oeste), 2008 (NFC Este) y 2020 (AFC Norte).

National Football League Teams Up with Renowned Fine Artist CHITO on Exclusive Merchandise Collaboration

Collection features two limited-edition jerseys inspired by Mexican flag, launches as part of "Por La Cultura" ahead of NFL Mexico City Game

NEW YORK – October 12, 2022 – The National Football League (NFL), in collaboration with renowned fine artist CHITO, announce the launch of NFL x CHITO, an exclusive merchandise line, consisting of two limited-edition Mitchell & Ness Legacy jerseys. Available today on NFLShop.com, the designer collaboration is the second release in the ongoing "Por La Cultura" (For the Culture) merchandise collection that shines a light on renowned Latino designers.

A fine artist of Mexican-American heritage, CHITO hails from Seattle with an international practice with roots in Mexico City. Utilizing the artist's signature airbrush style, the exclusive "Por La Cultura" jerseys maintain a focus on wearability while highlighting the structure of the iconic football jersey. The two jerseys are named "Perch" and "ssss" and draw inspiration from defenders within the Mexican flag - an eagle and a serpent. The jerseys also feature a high-quality Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) patch in the design of CHITO's signature "Pup" artwork that can be found as a motif throughout his works.

"I am happy to create works true to my practice combined with an appreciation of American football," said CHITO. "The jersey designs were inspired by elements of the Mexican flag. I hope these pieces inspire the youth to stay creative and productive with their art because it is important and can take you places that you never would have thought."

The story of the prints pays homage to the Mexican flag elements while the silhouette connects the community to the American sport of football. The jerseys also feature a patch of the NFL shield celebrating excellence within the Latino communities that continue to shape, influence, and push it forward both on and off the field.

"Our 'Por La Cultura' merchandise collection in collaboration with fine artist CHITO, represents the NFL's commitment to commemorating Latino culture," said Javier Farfan, Cultural Marketing Strategist at the NFL. "NFL x CHITO allows us to further engage the Latino community through fashion while paying homage to the Mexican community ahead of the NFL's Mexico City game this fall. We look forward to our fans celebrating their pride with us."

In addition to the two limited-edition Mitchell & Ness Legacy jerseys, this release will be complemented by a series of nine official airbrushed helmets that will be displayed at Estadio Azteca for the upcoming NFL international game in Mexico City on November 21.

A self-taught artist, CHITO has shown his artwork internationally and previously collaborated with Givenchy, Supreme, and Arcteryx.

The Starting 11 -- Twin showdowns, returns, reunions on tap for NFL in Week 6

Something has to give.

The Week 6 schedule features two games involving teams with four-or-more wins, and all four clubs in those games are fresh off impressive victories.

  • BUFFALO (4-1) heads to KANSAS CITY (4-1) on Sunday (4:25 PM ET, CBS) in a rematch of their 2021 playoff game that many called the greatest in NFL history. In 2022, the Chiefs (31.8 points per game) and Bills (30.4) lead the league in scoring, while Buffalo’s defense (12.2) is tied for the fewest points allowed per game.
  • Then, on Sunday Night Football (8:15 PM ET, NBC), DALLAS (4-1) visits PHILADELPHIA (5-0) in a battle for early season NFC East supremacy. The Eagles lead the NFL in turnover ratio (plus-nine) while the Cowboys (plus-five) are tied for second. Each club has just two giveaways, tied for fewest in the league.

This marks only the second time in the past 43 seasons (1980-2022) that multiple Week 6 games will pair teams with at least four wins. In Week 6 of the 2020 season, 4-1 Kansas City earned a 26-17 win at 4-1 Buffalo while 4-0 Pittsburgh recorded a 38-7 win over 4-1 Cleveland.

Also in focus on the Week 6 docket: One of the game’s most hallowed records, familiar faces in former places and surprise teams making significant strides. So butter that popcorn and tune in for a weekend with storylines aplenty.

The Starting 11 entering Week 6…

1.     PAPA BEAR IN RANGE: The Patriots’ BILL BELICHICK, who served as the Browns’ head coach from 1991-95, has 323 combined regular-season and postseason wins. This week, he has an opportunity to tie Pro Football Hall of Famer GEORGE HALAS (324) for second on the league’s all-time wins list when NEW ENGLAND (2-3) travels to play CLEVELAND (2-3) on Sunday (1:00 PM ET, CBS). In his 28th year as an NFL head coach, Belichick enters this week with a career 323-159 record (.670), including the postseason. Pro Football Hall of Famer DON SHULA (347) holds the all-time career wins record. 2.     REUNION WEEKENDJOE BURROW and JA’MARR CHASE return to Louisiana with the CINCINNATI BENGALS (2-3), who have a date with the NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (2-3) on Sunday (1:00 PM ET, CBS). The last time Burrow and Chase played at the Saints’ home stadium, Jan. 13, 2020, they led LSU to a College Football Playoff national title in a 42-25 win over Clemson. Burrow passed for 463 yards and five touchdowns, two to Chase, who registered nine receptions for 221 yards. … Chase went to high school 10 minutes from the Saints’ headquarters in Metairie, La., and also played in the dome as a sophomore in high school, when his Archbishop Rummel Raiders lost to CLYDE EDWARDS-HELAIRE and the Catholic Bears from Baton Rouge in their classification’s 2015 state title game. … In addition to Belichick’s return to Cleveland and the Burrow-Chase game in New Orleans, Week 6 features three other notable returns.
  • On Thursday Night Football (8:15 PM ET, Prime Video), Washington head coach RON RIVERA returns to Chicago, where he served as defensive coordinator (2004-06), played nine seasons (1984-92) and earned a Super Bowl XX ring with the 1985 Bears.
  • San Francisco head coach KYLE SHANAHAN makes his first trip to Atlanta on Sunday (1:00 PM ET, FOX) since he served as Falcons offensive coordinator from 2015-16.
  • ROBERT SALEH and MATT LAFLEUR meet as head coaches for the first time on Sunday when the Jets (3-2) play the Packers (3-2) at Lambeau Field (1:00 PM ET, FOX). Groomsmen at each other’s weddings, they were also roommates while serving as assistants at Central Michigan from 2004-05. LaFleur’s younger brother, MIKE LAFLEUR, is the Jets’ offensive coordinator.
3.     NUMBER OF THE WEEK – 3: The number of seasons since the 1970 league merger in which every NFL team had at least one win entering Week 6: 1990, 2018 and 2022. 4.     SPOTLIGHT – INDIVIDUAL MATCHUPS: The NFL’s 2022 leaders in touchdown passes, PATRICK MAHOMES (15) and JOSH ALLEN (14), meet on Sunday at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium (4:25 PM ET, CBS). Buffalo’s JORDAN POYER (four) leads the NFL in interceptions.

  • When MINNESOTA (4-1) has the ball at MIAMI (3-2) on Sunday (1:00 PM ET, FOX), look for a chess match between coordinators involving wide receiver JUSTIN JEFFERSON and cornerback XAVIEN HOWARD. Since the Vikings selected Jefferson in the first round (No. 22 overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft, he leads the NFL in receiving yards (3,563), including a league-leading 547 this season. Jefferson needs 601 more to surpass Pro Football Hall of Famer RANDY MOSS (4,163) for the most ever by a player over his first three NFL seasons. Also since Jefferson entered the league in 2020, Howard ranks tied for second in the NFL with 40 passes defensed and third with 15 interceptions.

 5.     SPOTLIGHT – TEAM MATCHUP: Strap in for BALTIMORE (3-2) at the NEW YORK GIANTS (4-1) on Sunday (1:00 PM ET, CBS), an interconference showdown featuring two of the most electrifying players from the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft. The Giants, off to their best start since opening 5-0 in 2009, have the league leader in scrimmage yards, SAQUON BARKLEY (676). The Ravens have the league leader in yards per rushing attempt, LAMAR JACKSON (7.6). … The Ravens are 2-0 in road games this year, and 19-7 (.731) overall in road games started by Jackson. The Giants are 4-1 in close games this season (each of New York’s five games this season have been decided by eight points or less). 6.     STREAK SPEAK: The NEW YORK JETS (3-2) put their unblemished road record on the line at GREEN BAY (3-2) on Sunday (1:00 PM ET, FOX). The Jets, who have 13- and 10-point comeback wins in the fourth quarters of their first two road games, aim to win each of their first three road games for the first time since 2010, their last playoff campaign. That year, the Jets won their first five road contests en route to the AFC Championship Game.

  • MIKE MCCARTHY can become one of three head coaches in Cowboys history to win four straight games over PHILADELPHIA (5-0) when the Eagles host DALLAS (4-1) on Sunday Night Football (8:20 PM ET, NBC). Only JASON GARRETT and Pro Football Hall of Famer TOM LANDRY have won four-or-more games in consecutive fashion over Philadelphia on a Cowboys sideline.

 7.     DID YOU KNOW?: Seattle quarterback GENO SMITH leads the NFL in both passer rating (113.2) and completion percentage (75.2). Smith’s completion percentage is the fourth-best mark all-time for a player through his team’s first five games of a season (minimum 100 attempts). Only DREW BREES in 2018 (77.9 percent), ALEX SMITH in 2017 (76.6) and Pro Football Hall of Famer PEYTON MANNING in 2013 (75.8) had higher completion percentages. Earlier this month, the Seahawks’ signal-caller won his second career Offensive Player of the Week award, nine years after his first (in Week 5 of the 2013 season). Smith and SEATTLE (2-3) host ARIZONA (2-3) on Sunday at Lumen Field (4:05 PM ET, FOX). 8.     UNDER-THE-RADAR STORYLINE: Five years ago this season, both KENNY PICKETT and TOM BRADY secured significant victories on the same field in Pittsburgh. As a true freshman, Pickett made his first collegiate start in Pitt’s season finale and led the Panthers to a 24-14 victory over the No. 2-ranked Miami Hurricanes. Three weeks later, on the path to a berth in Super Bowl LII, Brady guided New England to 11 points in the final four minutes, including a two-point conversion to ROB GRONKOWSKI, to give the Patriots a 27-24 win over the Steelers and clinch the AFC East. The two quarterbacks return to Acrisure Stadium when TAMPA BAY (3-2) meets PITTSBURGH (1-4) on Sunday (1:00 PM ET, FOX). 9.     TREND TIME: The last three Super Bowl champions – the 2019 KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (5-0), 2020 TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (4-0) and 2021 LOS ANGELES RAMS (5-2) – were a combined 14-2 (.875) over the balance of their seasons after their respective byes. Byes begin this week and run through Week 14. All 16 teams will be in action during Week 12, the week of Thanksgiving. 10.  THIS MONTH IN NFL HISTORY: Oct. 5, 1992 (30 years ago) – The last time DALLAS and PHILADELPHIA met within the first six weeks of a season with each team having at least three wins. On that day, the Eagles’ defense records four sacks and three interceptions in a 31-7 win as Philadelphia improves to 4-0. After the loss, Dallas rebounds to win 13 of its next 15 games to secure a Super Bowl XXVII title. 11.  AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST: The NFC East boasts three teams at 4-1 or better. PHILADELPHIA (5-0) has the NFL’s only undefeated record, including a 3-0 mark on the road. DALLAS (4-1) has won four straight, including victories over each of the 2021 Super Bowl teams. And the NEW YORK GIANTS (4-1) own road wins over each of the No. 1 seeds in the 2021 playoffs, Tennessee and Green Bay.

  • The NFC East is just the fourth division since the NFL realigned in 2002 with three teams earning at least four wins through a season’s first five weeks. It also happened in 2002 (AFC West), 2008 (NFC East) and 2020 (AFC North).

National Football League Announces Fifth Annual Big Data Bowl Competition

Starting today, participants can sign-up to compete for $100,000 in prize money through research in player tracking data 

NEW YORK (October 11, 2022) – Today, the National Football League (NFL) announced the launch of the fifth annual Big Data Bowl powered by Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS). This innovative crowd-sourcing competition among members of the sports analytics community is aimed to challenge applicants to use data and technology to protect players from unnecessary risk, create new insights and make the game more exciting for fans. Applicants are eligible to sign up today and start competing for rewards, including $100,000 in prize money.  

Through utilizing Next Gen Stats powered by AWS, the 2023 Big Data Bowl calls on professional and aspiring data analysts to devise innovative approaches to analyzing pass blocking and pass rushing performance across the NFL. Applicants will have access to data from the 2021 season analyzing quarterback dropback pass situations, which include snap to pass release timing as well as sacks and scrambling plays. Using this information, participants are asked to identify metrics to assess offensive and defensive performances on both an individual and team basis. The process of looking into linemen performance is generally an untapped area of public work and is a great opportunity for participants to develop unique statistically data driven solutions. Scouting data from PFF is also provided to participants. 

This season's Big Data Bowl also includes a new coaching centric track, which will encourage coaches to partner with data scientists on a submission. This collaborative perspective will put an additional emphasis on finding data solutions intended to help coaches use tracking to better understand opponent schemes and tendencies. 

Since the inaugural Big Data Bowl in 2018, this contest has been a pipeline for members of the sports analytics community who wish to join NFL teams and vendors, as well as other professional sports leagues. In total, over 50 participants have been hired in data and analytics roles in sports.  

"Throughout four outstanding years of competition, we are increasingly impressed by the innovative data that is generated from our sports analytics community in the Big Data Bowl," said Michael Lopez, NFL Senior Director of Football Data and Analytics. "Being able to engage with our fans in such a robust and creative manner has helped to continue to grow the game of football while also creating opportunities for our fans to pursue jobs throughout the league." 

As part of the Big Data Bowl, the NFL also incorporates a mentorship program for the third straight year aimed at increasing diversity in sports analytics by connecting experienced NFL analytics experts with interested beginners. This program will include both individual meetings as well as monthly group training sessions and conclude with a virtual forum where all mentees will have the opportunity to present to analysts from all 32 NFL teams.  

"As we kick-off this year's competition, we are excited to challenge aspiring data scientists and facilitate a collaborative environment to help engage with the football community in a fun way," said Vasi Philomin, Vice President of AI Service, AWS. "Machine learning is the most transformative technology of our generation, and at AWS, we are committed to creating opportunities that inspire the next generation of builders and ensure that the benefits of machine learning become more widely accessible to users of all skill levels." 

Interested applicants can register for the 2023 Big Data Bowl on Kaggle.com. Participants are allowed to work on their own or form teams with other colleagues.  

Following the submission deadline, all Big Data Bowl entries will be judged by data analysts from NFL clubs. Finalists will be announced in early 2023 and will share a prize of $100,000 provided by AWS.

NFL RENEWS SUPPORT OF THE TREVOR PROJECT

League matches Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Carl Nassib's $100k commitment

to further support the LGBTQ community

Today, on National Coming Out Day, the National Football League (NFL) announced its renewed support of The Trevor Project, the world's largest suicide prevention and mental health organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer & questioning (LGBTQ) young people. The NFL will work collaboratively with The Trevor Project on programming, training and more as a part of the league's ongoing effort to create a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive organization.

"The NFL's generous support of our life-affirming work not only helps us scale our crisis services for LGBTQ youth around the country and world, but it also spreads a message of love and acceptance directly to LGBTQ young people who may interact with the brand," said Leah Kartun, Corporate Partnerships Manager at The Trevor Project. "The massive national audience that the NFL reaches means that LGBTQ young people in all pockets of the U.S. could be reached with this affirmation – which can have a really meaningful impact on them feeling loved and part of a larger community who supports their existence."            

"We're extremely proud to continue our partnership with The Trevor Project and work alongside them to expand our efforts around inclusivity and to continue to strengthen our relationship with the LGBTQ community," said Jonathan Beane, Senior Vice President, Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer, NFL. "The work that The Trevor Project does to support LGBTQ youth and mental health is outstanding and we're excited to continue our work with an organization making an impact in countless lives around the world."

As a part of the partnership, the NFL Foundation will also be donating $100,000 to The Trevor Project, matching the donation made by Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Carl Nassib in 2022. In 2021, Nassib became the first active player in the NFL to come out as gay and donated $100,000 to the organization and the NFL matched his 2021 donation with an additional $100,000. In June 2022, Nassib announced his partnership with the organization and encouraged fans to donate to The Trevor Project to support the work of the organization and pledged to match donations up to $100,000. 

Through the NFL's collaboration with The Trevor Project, subject matter experts from The Trevor Project will provide LGBTQ-focused education sessions to National Football League staff to help build greater awareness and competency around LGBTQ youth and LGBTQ mental health. In addition, NFL staff will have an opportunity to volunteer with The Trevor Project.

The NFL's support toward The Trevor Project is one of several ways the League supports LGBTQ communities. The League has collaborated with organizations such as GLAAD, Covenant House and others to uplift the LGBTQ community. In June 2022, the NFL became a founding sponsor of the Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center.

JOINT NFL-NFLPA STATEMENT

JOINT NFL-NFLPA STATEMENT

The parties have completed their joint review of the application of the NFL’s Concussion Protocol following the injury to Miami Dolphins Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa during their game on September 25, 2022.   

Background and Context and Evolution of the Protocols:

The NFL-NFLPA Concussion Evaluation and Management Protocol was formalized and adopted in 2013.  Since that time, the parties’ medical experts have recommended and the parties have agreed to numerous modifications of the protocols to improve the health and safety of players (e.g., the creation of the ATC spotter program, Booth UNCs, Emergency Action Plans, mandatory post-game reports, and improved video surveillance). Rather than being simply a “check the box” process, the Protocol was designed to ensure that highly credentialed and experienced physicians – approved and paid for by the NFL and NFLPA – are available on game day and to create a standardized approach to concussion evaluation where competitive decisions never usurp quality care. If a concern arises over compliance with the Protocol, either the NFLPA or the NFL can request an investigation into the actions of the medical staff which will be conducted jointly. The NFL-NFLPA CBA limits the scope of the parties’ review to an objective assessment of whether each step required by the protocol was undertaken when a potential head injury is identified.

The NFLPA initiated such an investigation in connection with the incident involving Mr. Tagovailoa.  The NFL and NFLPA reviewed the relevant reports and video and jointly interviewed members of the Team’s medical staff, the Head Athletic Trainer, the Booth ATC Spotter, the Unaffiliated Neurotrauma Consultant (UNC) and Mr. Tagovailoa. Following the complete review, the parties concluded that while the step-by-step process outlined in the Concussion Protocol was followed, the outcome in this case was not what was intended when the Protocol was drafted. Specifically, the review established:

  • During the play in question, the player was tackled and fell on his back and then hit his head on the ground.  The player grabbed his helmet, shook his head several times, and after he took several steps, he stumbled and fell.
  • The Club medical team and the UNC properly viewed the video of the play in question as required by the protocol and engaged in a locker room examination of Mr. Tagovailoa before the player was cleared to return to play. The Team physician cleared Mr. Tagovailoa, following consultation with the UNC. The steps set forth in the Concussion Checklist were, therefore, conducted.
  • Mr. Tagovailoa suffered and reported back and ankle injuries earlier in the game.  Mr. Tagovailoa told the medical staff involved that he aggravated his back injury on the play in question and that his back injury caused him to stumble.
  • Mr. Tagovailoa did not report or exhibit any signs or symptoms of concussion during his locker room exam, during the remainder of the game, or throughout the following week.
  • The medical staff involved determined that the Gross Motor Instability (“GMI”) suffered by Mr. Tagovailoa was not neurologically caused. They concluded the player’s back injury was the cause of his observed instability.   However, the team physician and UNC did not conduct an examination of Mr. Tagovailoa’s back during the concussion examination, but instead relied on the earlier examination conducted by other members of the medical staff.  

Conclusion and Findings:

While the investigation determined that the team medical staff and unaffiliated medical professionals followed the steps of the Protocol as written, the NFL and NFLPA agree that the outcome in this case is not what was intended when the Protocols were drafted. As such, as has been done in previous cases, based on the advice of the parties’ respective medical experts, the Protocol will be modified to enhance the safety of the players.  Specifically, the term “ataxia” has been added to the mandatory “no-go” symptoms.  “Ataxia” is defined as abnormality of balance/stability, motor coordination or dysfunctional speech caused by a neurological issue.  In other words, if a player is diagnosed with “ataxia” by any club or neutral physician involved in the application of the Concussion Protocol, he will be prohibited from returning to the game, and will receive the follow-up care required by the Protocol.   

The Protocol exists to establish a high standard of concussion care for each player whereby every medical professional engages in a meaningful and rigorous examination of the player-patent.  To that end, the parties remain committed to continuing to evaluate our Protocol to ensure it reflects the intended conservative approach to evaluating player-patients for potential head injuries.

2022 BILL WALSH DIVERSITY COACHING FELLOWSHIP AND NUNN-WOOTEN SCOUTING FELLOWSHIP ENHANCE NFL'S LEGACY

The National Football League (NFL) successfully completed this year's Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching and Nunn-Wooten Scouting Fellowships to continue their efforts to strengthen the League's diverse talent. The Bill Walsh Diversity Fellowship had 171 fellows go through the initiative this year while the Nunn-Wooten Scouting Fellowship had 28 fellows.

Named after the late Pro Football Hall of Fame head coach, the annual Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship provides experience to outstanding coaches from diverse backgrounds. Coach Walsh first introduced this concept to the League in 1987 when he brought a group of minority coaches to San Francisco 49ers' training camp. Present day, the fellowship is designed as a vocational tool to increase the number of full-time NFL minority coaches within the League while exposing fellows to the methods and philosophies of NFL coaching staff.

Conversely, the Nunn-Wooten Scouting Fellowship provides NFL players, former football players, and college recruiting and personnel staff, an on-site look at an NFL front office and insight on the skills needed for a career in professional scouting. Established in 2015, the Nunn-Wooten Scouting Fellowship is named after longtime NFL executives Bill Nunn and John Wooten who were champions in establishing a strong legacy.

While both programs gave fellows in-person training within their respective clubs, virtual programming was offered by Football Operations over the summer to provide an opportunity for Fellows to further their skillset, enhance their knowledge of the game, and to engage with colleagues and mentors.

2022 Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship Virtual Speakers:

  • Clint McMillan, Tennessee Titans (former 2021 Bill Walsh Fellow)
  • Dan Williams, Kansas City Chiefs
  • Aditya Krishnan, Los Angeles Chargers

2022 Nunn-Wooten Scouting Fellowship Virtual Speakers:

  • Ameena Soliman, Philadelphia Eagles
  • Camren Williams, New England Patriots

New this year in conjunction with the Nunn-Wooten fellowship, the Minnesota Vikings launched the Gilliam-Reichow Personnel Fellowship; a comprehensive program creating opportunities for hands-on education for aspiring personnel and scouting executives. The fellowship's namesakes are Frank Gilliam, former Vikings Vice President of Player Personnel, and one of the NFL's first black scouts and Jerry Reichow, former Minnesota Vikings and Pro Bowl receiver, who later transitioned into a role within the team's front office, working with the club over five decades. Fellows in this particular program learned about player evaluation, scouting, film study and data analysis.

"It's been a great honor for our team to launch the Gilliam-Reichow Personnel Fellowship to work in conjunction with the impactful Nunn-Wooten Fellowship. Frank Gilliam and Jerry Reichow are two of the Vikings' biggest history makers – Gilliam as one of the NFL's first Black scouts and Reichow as a Pro Bowl receiver who successfully transitioned to the front office," said KWESI ADOFO-MENSAH, Minnesota Vikings General Manager. "This initiative is a great collaboration between our Legends, DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) and personnel groups. It is vital to advocate for programs that can create opportunities and hands-on education for our Legends and diverse candidates who may not otherwise receive that chance."

Both the Bill Walsh and Nunn-Wooten Fellowship have provided pertinent experience during the program's tenure and a path to success for the fellows once completed. Upon completion of the 2021 Bill Walsh Fellowship, KJ Black was selected to coach in the 2022 East-West Shrine Bowl. Black recently joined the Los Angeles Rams as a full-time coach working with the quarterbacks for the 2022 season. Other 2021 fellows who coached in the Bowl Game included Na'Shan Goddard, Trumaine Watson and Rashad Watson. Additionally, Clinton McMillan, a 2021 fellow with the Tennessee Titans, gained a full-time position this year as a Defensive Assistant with the team.

 "The Bill Walsh Coaching and Nunn-Wooten Fellowship programs serve as a meaningful opportunity to diversify our scouting and coaching staffs. We currently have three people on our staff, coaches KJ Black and Jonathan Cooley, and scout Cedric Jones, who came to our team through this program," said JACQUES MCCLENDON, Los Angeles Rams Director of Football Affairs. "General Manager Les Snead and Head Coach McVay both take great pride in providing our fellows the opportunity to get an immersive experience that exposes them to our staff and processes, while also exposing us to their talents as well. These initiatives are an essential recruiting tool in ensuring we are continuing to acquire diverse, talented individuals that fit our culture and make us a better organization."

Among the 2022 Nunn-Wooten Fellows, there were a total of five female participants: a record-high for the program's history.
