No if you watch it carefully he may not have been “knocked” out. He may have briefly lost consciousness from transient interruption of blood flow to the brain from carotid compression. It would certainly cause him to stagger when he tried to stand up. It looked like he was dragged briefly by the neck, maybe choked. Important difference though because the risk from concussion is related to the traumatic bruise which doesn’t occur in a transient choking.

A wobbled brain stem?

Yeah, it's very clear on the replays. No helmet to helmet or even head contact... no hard contact with the turf. And someone in the GDT with an actual medical background was guessing neck compression type of issues.

Standing up and wobbling all over the place, it certainly looked like he had gotten knocked out, but he didn't.

Cool, that's kind of what I saw too.

Mack Wilson's forearm slammed into his neck where I think the carotid artery runs.

The kneebuckle when he stood up obviously was not good but from the sounds of it he probably could have gone back in. Not saying he should have but probably could have. Doesn't seem like it was any kind of concussion.

Right, so I suspect he’ll have some kind of arteriography, CTA or MRA or at least an ultrasound to confirm that he hasn’t done any damage (ie dissection) to the carotids.

I bet he gets MRI/MRA because of the injury.
Might as well look at the noodle too

None of it is probably necessary though

If you watched both games today, you saw more than one QB sneak.

Just stop.

Yeah, you just slide a folded cigarette box under one side and it's gonna even itself out. Easy peasy.

I get what you're saying but sneaks are nothing like the kind of runs Patrick usually does or the one he got hurt on today. In fact he is the only QB I have ever seen get hurt on a sneak and that was a complete fluke.

Starting to be a Little concerned Mahomes is injury prone. Protect his ass.

He’s certainly no ‘Ironman’ Favre, Rivers or Manning.

I think today's injury was a bit fluky and I wouldn't call him "injury prone". Dude is tough and takes some hits.

But go back to the Miami game and probably even before but they beat the shit out of him. New Orleans beat the shit out of him. Atlanta beat the shit out of him.

Dude has taken a lot of hits from poor protection this season and especially late in the season.

You continue to show your football ignorance. Both injuries have been odd contact injuries. That does not make him injury prone.

And that was a overreaction too. Pat's a big boy he should be able to line up behind center and get 1 yrd when need be. You can't treat him like he's a ****ing china doll. :harumph:
