At the 14:24 mark of the 4th quarter, Green Bay Packers punter Jon Ryan kicked a ball to the Chicago Bears’ returner, a thing he had done four times prior. Those four previous punts had resulted in 18 total return yards and one touchback. Then, 45 and a half minutes into a game long lost, the Packers special teams unit assisted in starting something the league had never seen, and will never see again. They punted the ball to a man who would juke and weave his way into the NFL history books and change the game of football forever.

The 2022-2023 NFL season kicks off tomorrow. One day until the world emerges from months of lonely, dark wandering through the barren wilderness that is the “off-season.” I kid, of course, this website wouldn’t have a purpose if I only cared about one sport; that said this is still the best time of the year. The NFL is hard to top in terms of excitement and intrigue and this year will be no different.
