Tua Tagovailoa and his mistreatment
When the Miami Dolphins played their 3rd game of the season against the Buffalo Bills. The quarterback was tackled and thrown to the ground, hitting his head against the turf in the process. Even though he looked like he was struggling, the player cleared the concussion check and was sent back to the field. However, tragedy struck again the next week while the team played the Cincinnati Bengals. In a very similar fashion, Tagovailoa was again sent to the ground, taking a knock to the head. And this time, it was more than evident that the player had to be taken off.
