In a heated matchup between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans, an illegal hit on Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence by Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair led to a significant brawl on the field. Lawrence was carted off with a concussion, raising concerns over player safety and prompting calls for a long suspension for Al-Shaair due to his history of unnecessary roughness. The game concluded with the Texans edging the Jaguars 23-20, but the focus remained on the brutal nature of the hit and the subsequent altercations that ensued. Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson and many fans expressed their outrage over the incident, labeling the hit as a cheap shot that has no place in the sport.
