If not for the hit that almost killed him, the hit from Vince Wilfork that former NFL quarterback Chris Simms described Thursday on Pro Football Talk Live would certainly have been the worst of his career.

Simms described how the hit to his pelvic bone left him with some pretty severe bruising.

“My genitals were purple and yellow for like two weeks,” Simms explained. “Can you imagine that? Taking off your pants and it’s like the L.A. Lakers down there.”

The game in question was Week 15 of the 2005 season, and Simms was sacked a whopping seven times in a 28–0 loss to the Patriots.
