Early in the second quarter of last week's Titans game, Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford lowered his shoulder – and the boom – on Titans cornerback Perrish Cox during a scramble on a 3rd and 8 play.
Stafford literally ran right over Cox in an attempt to get to midfield for the first down.
Stafford isn’t exactly a small guy at 6-foot-3 and 226 pounds. Cox is 6-foot, 190 pounds. While teammates certainly appreciate their quarterback putting his body on the line for a first down, they also want him to survive 16 ball games.
