History

Historical Context

In May 2011 the NFL owners added a 15-yard penalty for forcible hits to a passer’s head and raised the active roster from 45 to 46 players, ending the third-quarterback exemption. The move echoed the 1991 “Body Bag Game” that first prompted a third-quarterback rule. That season’s record passing totals highlighted the league’s new focus on quarterback safety.
