Tua Tagovailoa concussion discussion (update: Tua to IR 9/17/2024)(Merged)

How is that not penalized for unnecessary roughness?? He got forcefully slammed onto the turf and he's a QB! 🤬
Surprised this wasn’t brought up before now, and there will probably hard line opinions on both sides. Personally, I didn’t find the tackle to be malicious or excessive. It was not a lift and slam down effort. Tua was spun around and when his feet got taken out beneath him his body whipped to the ground.

Yeah, the results looked bad, though.

To your point though about it being on a QB, a flag wouldn’t have surprised me.
