A complete recapitulation of the 1986 NFL season and more

The NFL season of 1986 was like all other seasons in that it was like no other season. Many of the players who were stars during the season never quite achieved that height again, some continued a demonstration of stardom for which this was but one season and there were many who were simply role players for their team. This book is a recapitulation of that season and it contains more than just the statistics for that season. There are sections on: *) The strategy behind designing a running game *) The strategy used to design a passing game *) Different defensive strategies based on whether the expectation is a run or a pass. *) The rules and the actions that lead to a penalty as well as the consequences to the offender. *) The special teams of kickoffs, punts, field goals as well as unusual variations such as the onside kick. *) The 1986 Super Bowl between the Chicago Bears and the New England Patriots The section on each team also lists all team records and the men who coached the team. If you are interested in a complete summary of the 1986 NFL season, then this is a book that you will find worthwhile reading.
