Daily News | ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith defends Bart Scott following criticism over Damar Hamlin take
, Scott appeared to blame Hamlin’s injury in part on Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins, who lowered his head while being tackled by Hamlin.
“I’m not trying to put the blame on Tee Higgins, but that’s something [the NFL] tried to take out,” Scott added. ”They never make that call.” “He did no such thing. That is not true, that is a lie. Nobody would be that insensitive, for crying out loud, especially somebody like Bart Scott,” Smith said. “I specifically asked him to explain what transpired on the play, because he was talking about how Tee Higgins got the ball and was running with it, and at the last second … created that kind of contact. It was a football play, and Hamlin tackled him. That’s all that was going on.
