Was it a dirty hit, or just a hard play? Either way, officials ruled it was legal.
With about 7 minutes to go in the second quarter, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw a pass to wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster over the middle of the field. As Smith-Schuster was pulling in the pass, Jaguars safety Andre Cisco laid a heavy hit to knock the ball loose. Smith-Schuster hit the ground hard, and his arms went to the"fencing position," a typical sign of a concussion.
Officials threw a flag on the play for Cisco's hit on a defenseless receiver, but they rescinded the penalty, much to the chagrin of Chiefs fans both in the stadium and on social media.— Demetrius Harvey Smith-Schuster was able to get on his feet and was taken to the locker room. He was ruled out for the rest of the game.
