September was very significant month when it came to NFL player arrests

After the prominent sagas involving Aaron Hernandez, Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson and a variety of players from the San Francisco 49ers over the past few years, the NFL finally has some good news when it comes to off-field behavior.

Not one NFL player was arrested in the month of September.

How unusual is that?

Take a look at how long it's been since the league went a calendar month without one of its players getting in trouble with the law.
