It started as a normal play during Thursday night's football game against the Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals. With just about five minutes till halftime, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was looking to make a game changing play when he was sacked and thrown to the ground.
Quarterbacks are often taken down by players on the opposite team, but they almost always get up —Tagovailoa did not.
Instead, he stayed on the ground in visible pain with his fingers clenched up in front of his helmet. His teammates and coaches surrounded him as he was be stabilized on a stretcher and carted off the field. For seven minutes, players, fans at Paycor Stadium and millions across the country watched in horror.
