Sometimes, games get stopped to check a player who may have suffered a concussion. Sometimes, they don’t.
On Sunday in New England, Patriots quarterback Drake Maye landed hard on the ground, banging his head against the artificial surface . He immediately put his right hand on his helmet.
Maye was not removed for a concussion check.
Two plays later, Maye threw an interception in the end zone, concluding a 17-play drive with no points for the Patriots.
The Steelers lead at the half, 14-7. It remains to be seen whether Maye receives a proper evaluation for a head injury during intermission.
