AP Study: Hits to head still prevalent in NFL

December 10th, 2013

FILE - In this Nov. 17, 2013, file photo, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (9) is sacked by San Francisco 49ers outside linebacker Ahmad Brooks (55) in the second half of an NFL football game in New Orleans. Brees fumbled and the 49ers recovered, but Brooks was called for an illegal hit. Almost once a game, an NFL player absorbs an illegal blow to the head or neck that could put his career, or worse, at risk. The NFL has been trying to prevent such blows over the past four years, targeting improper technique and making it a point of emphasis to penalize and fine players for hits that leave themselves and their opponents vulnerable.
