It feels weird recounting with excitement the number of sacks Josh Paschal had in a relatively important game for the Detroit Lions when it comes to playoff implications, because football at large looks meaningless after what happened on Monday Night Football.
Gruesome injuries, scary collisions, and unnerving concussions are an unfortunate part of America’s favorite sport. However, as all-too-common players being carted off the field is, the game has not seen an injury with as much cultural impact as it did on Monday night when Bills’ safety, Darvin Hamlin, collapsed after a hard but routine-looking tackle.
