I think college football has done better with concussion protocol and prevention by reviewing targeting hits whether a flag was thrown or not. They are not being tolerant, the NFL rarely enforces targeting and an ejection from the game.
I think the NFL needs to be proactive with targeting and do all possible to shut it down. An ejection and then a 1 to 2 game suspension (no pay) would hep deter concussions.
It is a violent game so all players are at risk. Tua was concussed on a legal play, that will happen. But, once he did the stumbling when he got up, anything he says a few minutes later should be disregarded. What doctor is that stupid to see the guy look punchy as he falls to the ground after a hit and then say yes Tua that makes sense it was your back and knee that caused you to react that way. The dude was concussed against the Bills and the world saw it and then saw him be allowed to play again in the second half. The doctor was fired and rightly so was fired.

I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
