Azeez Al-Shaair has been a leader for the Houston Texans, but everyone is susceptible to making mistakes. Sunday was an inexcusable mistake just before halftime against the Jacksonville Jaguars. AzeezAl-Shaair was ejected after delivering a late hit against Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence while he was sliding to pick up a first down.

Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair did just about everything the NFL is trying to prevent by hitting Trevor Lawrence late and in the head as the Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback was trying to slide in the first half of the Texans vs. Jaguars game on Sunday. It was an objectively dirty hit, and Al-Shaair was ejected from the game.

In the aftermath of Al-Shaair’s dirty hit, some Jaguars and Texans players engaged in a feisty brawl on the field. Al-Shaair was ejected along with Jaguars defensive back Jarrian Jones, even though the Texans defender was the blatant offender.
