Fight erupts after Texans player hits Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence

In the second quarter of Sunday's game between the Texans and Jaguars, Houston linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair laid a serious hit on Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The hit forced Lawrence out of the game and led to a fight between the two teams.

The hit occurred with 4:13 to play in the second quarter, with the Texans leading the Jaguars 6-0 at Jacksonville's EverBank Stadium. Lawrence dropped back for a pass on second down and seven, then rolled to his left before taking off from behind the line of scrimmage. Lawrence ran toward the first down line at the Texans' 44 before sliding feet-first to the ground.
