The moment arose during the Chiefs-Jaguars game when JuJu Smith-Schuster fell prey to a vicious hit to the head. Patrick Mahomes connected with the WR with a pass at the center of the field. However, as he drove forward, Smith-Schuster got hit in the head by Jaguars’ Andre Cisco. Following the collision, the trainers had to take the Chiefs WR off the game, and he did not return to the field.
Brittany Matthews’ stance left the NFL world divided
The referees flagged Andre Cisco, but the lack of ejection certainly fazed Patrick Mahomes‘ wife. Brittany Matthews vented her frustration over Twitter.
Alright we like hitting people in the head?
