NFL teams with a higher number of disabled players who went through the 2019 season have won fewer games than their healthy counterparts.

The NFL's 32 teams reported a total of 4,732 injuries in 2019, with 1,297 individual players injured, according to NFL.com. It helps us to understand why teams at the end of the season can look so much better or worse than they did back in September.
