Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bernard Pierce brought us the most bizarre play of Week 5 in the NFL when he literally blocked for the wrong team on a special teams play. During a punt return from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Pierce decided to turn around and block rather than attempting to tackle Bobby Rainey, who returned the punt 58 yards.
On Monday, we learned that the explanation for the play may be a rather disturbing one. Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said Pierce suffered a concussion at some point during the game.
“It’s not a good play at all,” Bradley told reporters, according to Big Cat Country.
