Thursday Night Football of the NFL experiences a dramatic moment as Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins quarterback, was carried off the field due to a concussion after receiving a brutal tackle in the game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
For the second consecutive week, the quarterback left the field, but this time the situation was more concerning due to the images showing how he clenched his hands.
In the second quarter, the Bengals' defensive captured the graduate from Alabama Crimson Day and slammed him to the ground, leaving the fans worried. Tua fell to the side but couldn't avoid the snap in the neck, which looked dramatic, causing an immediate concussion reaction on the field.
The Dolphins' quarterback, who also suffered a dangerous blow to the back in last week's game against the Buffalo Bills, fell backward in the action and hit the back of his head on the ground.
The seriousness of the situation was understood immediately, and the images showed how, due to the blow, Tua's fingers remained locked in an unnatural position.
The medical team immediately came in to attend to him and prevent the hard impact from having major consequences. He was then removed and taken to the hospital while his teammates showed concern.
Uncertainty was felt at the Paul Brown Stadium, but when the quarterback left the field, he received applause not only from his teammates but also from his opponents and the Cincinnati crowd, who chanted Tua's name.
After a few minutes, the Dolphins reported that the player was conscious and had movement in all his limbs. They also added that Tagovailoa suffered "injuries to the head and neck."
