Sunday Night Football between the Seattle Patriots and New England Patriots is a big one, with both teams coming into the matchup 1-0. It featured two of the best coaches in the NFL, Pete Carroll and Bill Belichick.
Starting at safety for the Seahawks was former Texas defensive back Quandre Diggs. The sixth-year player was looking to slow down Patriots’ starting quarterback Cam Newton in the air.
Towards the end of the first quarter, Newton led N’Keal Harry across the middle of the field with a pass. Diggs flew down from his safety position, laying a violent hit on the wide receiver.
Not only did he acquire a personal foul, unnecessary roughness for 15 yards but Diggs was ejected from the game.
Somehow, Harry was able to complete the catch and hang on, even after the hit. He also jumped onto his feet quickly for a head to head collision.

Absolutely no idea how N’Keal Harry held onto this ball and got up so quickly. Pure helmet to helmet. pic.twitter.com/YDcCAJVb6q
