The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost receiver Chris Godwin for the remainder of the season because of a torn ACL after he took a big hit to his knee in Sunday's loss to the New Orleans Saints.
Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady said Monday that he thinks receivers need to be better protected and the NFL should do something about it, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.
"You can't hit anyone in the knees anymore except for receivers. Which doesn't make any sense to me," Brady said. "You can't hit a defensive lineman in the knees, you can't hit a punter in the knees, you can't hit a quarterback in the knees, you can't hit a DB in the knees except for allowing hits on defenseless receivers.
