Hello,
\n\nAs a total noob to NFL, while doing research on the rules I came across this video describing how the punt plays rules were changed in 2015 (I assume it was in 2015 as it's the publishing date of the video).
\n\nI was wondering if we could find some data on concussions before and after the rule change
\n\nEdit : Those rule changes occured in the Canadian football league not the NFL, thanks @hamelg for pointing out
