After immobilizing the undefeated Atlanta Falcons in the first quarter, and much of the first half, the tide takes an ugly turn in the second.
RG3 gets stitches on the sideline. |
“He wasn’t sure what quarter it was in the third quarter", said Redskins coach Mike Shanahan. "At
that time, when he wasn’t really sure what the score was or what quarter it
was, we knew he had a mild concussion – at least according to the doctors. He
feels good right now – a lot better right now. But that was the situation, why
he didn’t go back into the game.”
Scary play for the fans. Brutal reality tweets on Twitter, from non fans, many 'welcoming' RG3 to the NFL.
