People are jumping on the narrative, but Metlife literally changed their turf in the offseason. It’s the same one used in Detroit and Atlanta. Nobody complains about those.

The issue is that athletes go so hard nowadays and their bodies can’t handle it. If you watched the broadcast, they literally mentioned that Phillips had actually retired due to injuries in college before deciding to come back. But people want to blame the turf? Metlife has not had nearly the amount of non-contact injuries it had in the past. It’s just easy to blame the turf because people don’t want to think about whether athletes are going too hard these days.

See what the Kelce brothers have to say about artificial turf.

nfl needs to mandate grass

I personally want there to be two selections and it is consistent across the league. If you choose turf it is this 1 company and 1 config, if grass 1 blend of seed. That way it can create more of a consistent test criteria of variables.

Then in say 5 years if turf is main culprit. Everyone gets grass.
