Red Bryant chipped tooth celebrating the safety vs. Raiders

It was a hell of a play. He then ran...

At first, 53 doesn’t seem like a very small number; there are only 22 people on the field at any one time. It would seem that a roster size of more than twice the number of people on the field would allow teams to have all the...
