Dirty play in the National Football League (NFL) is causing controversy.
The protagonist of the controversy is Houston Texans linebacker Aziz Al-Shire. He committed controversial behavior during an away game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Everbank Stadium on the 2nd (Korean time).
Al-Shire was unable to find a place to pass at the end of the first half, so he grabbed the ball himself and ran, but hit opposing quarterback Trevor Lawrence hard, who was sliding to stop.
It was an unnecessary play that hit the opponent hard, who already had no intention of advancing any further. It also hit the opponent’s head hard.
Lawrence suffered a severe blow to the head and fell to the field.
Naturally, Jacksonville players were furious. Tight end Evan Engram was the first to rush in and push him, leading to a scuffle between players from both teams.
Al-Shire and Jacksonville cornerback Jarian Jones were ordered ejected.
Al-Shire got into an argument with Jacksonville guard Brandon Schaff while being ejected, which led to a second fight. It didn’t turn into a bigger fight as his colleagues tried to stop him.
In an on-field interview with ‘FOX’ after halftime, Texans coach Demeko Lyons said Al-Shire’s actions “do not represent who we are,” and Jaguars coach Doug Pederson was displeased, calling it a “blatant foul.” exposed
Fortunately, Lawrence’s condition seemed to have improved enough to allow him to sit on a cart and move around when leaving the court. He was diagnosed with a concussion and missed the remainder of the game, but was reportedly not taken to the hospital.
Houston won the game 23-20.
This is not the first time Al-Shire has caused controversy on the field. In the second week of the game against the Chicago Bears, he punched opposing running back Roshaun Johnson on the sideline. At the time, he was fined $11,817.
