      Ikr. This is such a weird way to just say a stat. Would have made more sense to say “a starting QB has had a season ending injury every week over the last 4 weeks”. That’s it. No need to say “the NFL is hoping for no more injuries”. No shit. They want the best product on the field, so they can sell more tickets, have better advertising for matchups and overall have more interesting games.

      You have to hope some get injured, otherwise what is there to write about? Some team scored more points? BORING! But we’ve crossed the line where writing about injured QBs is no longer interesting so they should stop getting hurt.

      Schefter wanted the injury headline clicks because he’s clickbait trash, but he also wanted to make sure to do it in a way that is totally not just him using injuries to generate clicks. So here we have “the NFL cares and so do I” when really he just wanted to mention the injuries for clicks.
