ESPN NFL analyst Bart Scott believes Buffalo Bills' Damar Hamlin wasn't expecting the Bengals' Tee Higgins to 'launch' himself into his body before his collapse.
"Right before the tackle, [Higgins] lowers his helmet and he kinda throws his body into [Hamlin's] chest,"."He’s standing up because he’s thinking he’s gotta chase Tee Higgins at an angle to make a tackle, so he didn’t expect Tee Higgins to launch his body back into him. It’s one of those things you see as a linebacker."
"They’ve taken that out of the game, but they don’t regulate it as much as possible," Scott said."I expect the league will be a lot more vigilant when it comes to that and using that penalty." Prior to his breakdown of the play, Scott shared the same sentiment as everyone who witnessed it, saying,"What we saw last night was not normal." However, he did mention that"we've seen that hit 1,000 times and we've never seen this outcome."
