Carl Lawson Loses Teeth on Sack Attempt vs. Browns

The tooth fairy may be visiting Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Carl Lawson.

According to Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com, Lawson lost two teeth while attempting to sack Cleveland Browns quarterback DeShone Kizer during Cincinnati's 31-7 victory Sunday.

"I got around the edge, and I thought I got a sack, but they said the ball was going forward," Lawson—who wasn't wearing a mouthpiece on the play—said, per Terrell. "When I was bringing him down, I just see my teeth in the air for like two seconds. I was like, 'Holy crap.'"

Lawson explained he wasn't particularly upset because he "sacrificed" his teeth on what was a solid rush.
