It is time for the NFL to look at safety. Yet another fan fell from the stands this season. This time, in the New England game, a fan fell into the visitor’s tunnel and the status of the injured is still unknown.
The Green Bay Packers clinched the NFC North in the win over the Bears on Sunday afternoon, as the NFC East was blown wide open.
