It's obvious when Burfict got the concussion last week so the question is, why did we bring him back out? Aren't there rules against putting players in danger liker that?
I guess the only reason we may not get in trouble is because it's Burfict and everyone wants to see him die anyways.
But, Isn't it a little alarming that Burfict went back on the field in the 2nd half when he was clearly concussed?
An independent neurologist ran him through the procedure to check for a concussion (he went to the locker room) and he passed. That is why they ran him back out.
Maybe he got it later in the game. (Unlikely, but still.) If the independent guy says one of your two best defensive players is cleared to return to the game, you use him. Would you preferred to read that the neurologist cleared him and the Bengals lose a game because Marvin didn't want to put him back in if it happens in the future?
