Teddy Bridgewater passed all tests after being taken to the locker room. But under NFL rules, because the spotter overhead thought he saw the QB stumble after being hit on Miami’s first snap, he wasn’t just down, he was out.
Here’s what we do know: Tagovailoa was allowed to play four days after stumbling badly.
Better to have heartache for teams and fans, the NFL is basically saying, than headaches for players. Sorry, but if you can’t live with that logic, you’re not really a fan. To be fair to the spotter, the side of Bridgewater’s head solidly hit the turf when he was hit by Sauce Gardner. Bridgewater was flagged for intentional grounding in the end zone, giving the Jets a safety. So the spotter clearly had reason to be watching the QB while the CBS cameras and most of the rest of us were watching to the huddle of zebras to see if they were going to flag the Dolphins.
