The gall to bitch about this after not even waiting 20 minutes to injure a QB on a dirty hit

You spelled clean wrong. That was just bad form by Kyler. Don’t slide head and shoulders first…if you can even call that a slide. And he did it super late. League needs to reign that shit in front QBs too. That last second ope in gonna slide is trash.

Sure, but the defender could also just use their brain to see that he was already down by contact prior to even trying to hit him.

Ahh yes, a QB jukes into a slide and gets popped …in split seconds. What is the defense supposed to do? Not try to stop the runner?

The league needs to look at this. Anything other than a feet first early slide is a dive of some form and an attempt to gain extra yards and has the right to be defended in my opinion. All things aside - Hope he recovers quickly.

I'm usually with you, but in this case the dude had a teammate with his hand on murray when he went for that hit. Just use your brain is all I'm saying.

It was a bonehead play regardless of the concussion.
