Short film shows every concussion in the NFL this season

There were 281 reported concussions in the NFL during the 2017 season, the most ever since the league began releasing data in 2012. Data artist Josh Begley has compiled each one of them into a short film titled "Concussion Protocol."

As chilling as the film is, Begley said its intent isn't to argue for the end of football.

"In the spirit of Saidiya Hartman, I am interested in 'defamiliarizing the familiar,'" he explained.

"When we watch American football, what are we seeing? By cutting together only these scenes of injury - moments of impact, of intimacy, of trauma - and reversing them, I hope to open up a space to see some of this violence anew."

Baltimore Ravens tight end Benjamin Watson tweeted that there were a lot more concussions than reported.
