Some headlines need a little more explaining than what’s given. The above headline doesn’t fall into that category.

Mike Rosenberg of the Reuters tweeted out Thursday a momentous occasion: September was the first calendar month since 2009 that no active NFL player was arrested:

NFL just finished a calendar month without any player arrests reported. That hadn't happened in more than 6 years. — Mike Rosenberg (@RosenbergMerc) October 1, 2015

Rosenberg also had several other related items that he tweeted out:

NFL went a month without a player arrest reported after averaging an arrest per *week* over the last 5 years. — Mike Rosenberg (@RosenbergMerc) October 1, 2015

Months without an NFL player arrest reported, last 11 years *Sept 2015 *July 2009 That's it https://t.co/LrXubyRmW3 https://t.co/4OOKTT7BU0 — Mike Rosenberg (@RosenbergMerc) October 1, 2015

And September was the first time in 15 years that the NFL went a calendar month *during the season* without a player arrest. — Mike Rosenberg (@RosenbergMerc) October 1, 2015

If you have some time to spend and want to amuse yourself, go to those URLs and scroll through the comments related to each tweet. Some are hilarious while some are depressing. But if you’re a fan of Cris Carter, you may not want to take a look at the comments #Fallguy.

Can the players make it back-to-back months and go through all of October without an arrest. Seeing as October has 31 days and September only has 30 days, we may be asking for too much.
