Of course, what Al Michaels is referring to is the frightening scene that unfolded back on January 2, 2023, during a week 17 game between the Bills and Bengals in Cincinnati. During the first quarter of that game, Hamlin was struck in the chest by the helmet of Tee Higgins, causing him to go into cardiac arrest.

Tua, as you may already know, has a troubling history of concussions. During the 2022 season, he suffered an ugly head injury against these same Bills, but was given the green light to return to the game. Four days later, during a Thursday night game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Tua took another ugly head shot. This one left him laying unconscious on the field. It was a horrifying scene that called into question the NFL’s procedure for checking concussions on the sideline.

Sadly, Tua’s latest concussion is bound to raise more questions regarding head injuries in the NFL. Many will question whether the Dolphins quarterback should continue playing the game.

One thing is for sure: this is definitely not ironic. Sorry, Al.

We’re all praying for Tua’s health and well-being at this time.
