Hard to imagine Aziz Al-Shaair of the Houston Texans was thinking anything as he leveled a sliding Trevor Lawrence on Sunday.
The cheap shot led to an ejection of Al Shaair and saw Lawrence leave the game with a concussion.
The benches emptied and Jaguars TE Evan Engram was tossed, too, for defending his QB.

Trevor Lawrence suffered a significant traumatic brain injury (#TBI) here.
He shows a clear “fencing response”, which means he is knocked out with a #concussion & deeper parts of his brain are malfunctioning.
Wishing him the best.pic.twitter.com/GQw8fKGLAl— Chris Nowinski, Ph.D. (@ChrisNowinski1) December 1, 2024
