New England Patriots linebacker Darius Fleming played Saturday’s playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs with 22 stitches in his leg after he pulled a woman from her car following an accident, Fleming told reporters Wednesday.
Fleming said he had left practice at Gillette Stadium on Thursday, Jan. 14, when he saw a three-car pile-up on a nearby highway. He told reporters he noticed one of the cars appeared to be burning, and saw a woman inside the vehicle struggling to get out. Fleming said he kicked in the window of the vehicle, causing the wound on his leg, before pulling her out of the car.
