Now we know.
Dude was legit knocked out.
Player safety my ass.
When I watched the play live I thought the Hutch hit was legal and Alim’s 2nd hit was late and worthy of a 15 yarder. Seeing it on replay you can see Alim was actually pushed into Stafford so that’s why I think the ref didn’t throw the flag.
I am surprised they let him back in the game. The ref couldn’t see his eyes from that angle but the league certainly could and should have communicated that down to the field.
If it was a regular season game I guarantee he doesn’t get cleared. But ratings and money over everything. That’s the NFL we all know
Cuckoo

And it wasn’t dirty, he literally got stampeded
No way he should’ve been let back into the game.
Matt went to the tent after that play…but does anyone know for sure if they checked him for a concussion or not? He was also holding his shoulder so he might have went to the tent for that.
Can you “get your bell rung” without being concussed?
He definitely should have gone through concussion protocol.
I don’t remember where I saw it, but some ex-NFL players who played for the Patriots were talking about how Brady was trained to hold his arm like that if he got a concussion so nobody would know it was a concussion…and well…we’re were Patriots west there for awhile with Matty Patty and Quinn so I bet you he learned that trick from Brady or those guys.
One thing Patriots players were trained to do for years was to grab a random bodypart after they got knocked out. I suspected it for years, but recently it was confirmed. Matt did the same thing.
You know when you’re watching one of those sketchy football YouTube videos where they tilt the screen and then switch to some random Asian cutting out paper decorations? It was like that in real life for Matt.
Kerby Joseph did the same thing after concussing himself on DK Metcalf. He tried playing off as a hip on the field, but it became the ankle on the sideline when he was trying to get back in.
I was waiting for him to run to the Lions bench out of habit
Christen Harper!
I blame Matt’s hurtful comment to Kerby Joseph on his concussion and prolonged exposure to KellyWorld.
Haha well played good sir. Well played.
