Ladies and gentlemen, the National Football League just did the impossible. The league went an entire calendar month for the first time in six years without a player getting arrested.
Even more impressive is that it’s the first time in 15 years that the NFL went a month without a player getting arrested during the season.
Statistics analyst Mike Rosenberg was first to break the story.
NFL just finished a calendar month without any player arrests reported. That hadn’t happened in more than 6 years.

And September was the first time in 15 years that the NFL went a calendar month *during the season* without a player arrest.

NFL went a month without a player arrest reported after averaging an arrest per *week* over the last 5 years.
