Detroit Lions defensive back Saivion Smith had one of the scariest moments in the NFL this year, after collapsing to the ground early in the team’s Week 7 contest against the New England Patriots. He was unable to move or talk for several minutes before he was eventually stretchered off and taken from Gillette Stadium in an ambulance.
It was a terrible situation, as the game was supposed to be a momentous occasion, with Smith making his second career NFL start. His father was even in attendance and ended up coming down to the field to ride with Smith to a nearby hospital.
