Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker left the field on a stretcher Monday night after a violent collision with Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers.
The play took place in the third quarter of the NFC wild-card game in Los Angeles with the Rams leading, 28-8. Akers took a handoff from Matthew Stafford from the Cardinals' 16-yard line and broke free into the secondary at full speed. Baker met Akers near the 6-yard line with a diving tackle. As Baker dove, Akers lowered his head, and their helmets collided.
Baker immediately went stiff and rolled over on his back after the collision.
