Houston Texans fans — this team has been no strangers to having to deal with concussion protocol on multiple occasions last season. Some of its practices garnered national headlines, especially when Tom Savage sustained one when his head hit turf off a legal hit by Elvis Dumervil. It was a horrible sight to witness, watching the man twitch uncontrollably in front of millions of watching eyes.
It was frustrating to watch the nearby down judge just look at him while I imagine he was experiencing some of the worst pain of his life. Savage did go into the blue tent but was cleared to go back into the game albeit him spitting up blood but the Houston Texans medical staff finally came to their senses and pulled him out of the game for good.
