Okay, so I wanted to dig into this whole NFL Achilles injuries thing for 2023. It felt like I was hearing about another player going down with one every week, so I decided to see what was really going on.
Getting Started
First, I just started searching around. You know, just basic stuff like “NFL Achilles injuries 2023”. I wanted to get a feel for the overall situation, see if it was just my imagination or if there really were a ton of these injuries happening.
Gathering the Names
I started making a list. Every time I saw an article or report about a player with an Achilles injury, I’d jot down their name, team, and the date it happened if I could find it. This was pretty tedious, I won’t lie. It was a lot of flipping between different websites and trying to keep everything straight.
Organizing My Notes
- I created a simple spreadsheet. Nothing fancy, just columns for the player’s name, team, date of injury, and any notes I had (like if it was a full tear or just a strain).
- Then filled a spreadsheet.
Looking for Patterns
Once I had a decent amount of data, I started looking for any trends. Were there certain teams that were hit harder? Was there a specific point in the season where these injuries were more common? This was the interesting part, trying to make sense of all the information I’d collected.
Double-Checking Everything
Finally, I went back through everything and double-checked my list against a few different sources. I figured it was best to make sure I had things right, just in case I missed anything or made any mistakes along the way. My notes must be correct, so my conclusion is correct.
