MOBILE, Ala.–Dolphins quarterback Matt Moore did not suffer a concussion in the team’s playoff game against Pittsburgh, but the NFL and NFLPA determined that the team did not fully follow the Concussion Protocol before sending him back into the game two plays later.
Moore took a shot to the helmet from the Steelers’ Bud Dupree and hit the back of his head hard on the ground when he fell. The primary issue with Miami allowing him to return was that its medical staff and the unaffiliated neurologist did not recognize that he was bleeding from the mouth.
