If the Falcons weren't unlucky on that WR slip that led to and INT, and Ryan didn't follow it up with a fumble Atlanta would have won the game......turning the ball over twice late in the game in a row isn't going to get you too many wins- and the Falcons still had a chance.

Instead of going for head shots, defenders are going to adjust and just take out the knees of runners, which could actually lead to more injuries.

I think the league is going to continue to change the rules towards protection to the point that it won't be so risky for these guys to run more. As big and fast as some of them are now, they are turning into throwing running backs. The casual fan likes it, and the league will change rules to protect that.
