Chiefs receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster entered the concussion protocol after taking a big hit during the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Arrowhead Stadium.
The Chiefs had a third-down play and quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw a pass to Smith-Schuster. As he was attempting to secure the reception, Jaguars safety Andre Cisco flew in to make the tackle and there was a helmet-to-helmet hit.
Here is the play.
A flag was thrown, but the officials quickly picked it up. Smith-Schuster needed assistance to walk to the Chiefs’ locker room.
CBS Sports analyst Tony Romo and the network’s rules analyst, Gene Steratore, both said a penalty should have been called for a hit to the head/neck area.
Fans watching the game, also were stunned that the flag was picked up.
Here is a small sample of what was being said.
