Russell Wilson leaves Broncos loss to Chiefs after frightening blow to his head

Russell Wilson left Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs after his head slammed to the turf at the end of a run.

The Denver Broncos quarterback scrambled on a third-and-11 play early in the fourth quarter and broke toward the end zone after picking up a first down. He was tackled at the 2-yard line, and his head bounced off the ground at the end of the play. He remained motionless for a moment and was clearly woozy as trainers helped him to his feet.

Brett Rypien replaced him on the field as Wilson walked on his own to the sideline medical tent.
