Lawrence was scrambling on a second-and-7 carry but slid down after a gain of 6 yards. As he slid, Al-Shaair launched himself at the quarterback, hitting him hard in the helmet. Lawrence was clearly hurt on the play and appeared to go into the fencing posture – a symptom often associated with concussions.

Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair came under fire for his hit on Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the cause he chose for the NFL's campaign.
