he was clearly down for the count. teammate tried to pick him up but he was dead weight.

diagnoses or not, he got his bell rung and i hope he recovers quick. he’s spent too much time being injured for such an extremely talented player.

Honestly I don’t think Rice was injured at all. I think that he was laying there in shock/awe of winning the game, and then 4 guys jumped on him.

No need to fine, Rice was a runner diving for TD and has to protect himself at that point. He scored/won and did seem fine after the game. Do you think Florio is concerned about the health of Sidney Rice? No, its about controversy about concussions and reporting which the NFL only makes a big deal with because of the lawsuit. If you believe its something other than that I have some swampland in Florida for you.

Yes @ewoods6, I didn’t know the official term, but when that arm “fences”…that’s a wrap. Having had my arm fence in a game once, and asking a teammate what the score was repeatedly (like 5 times in a 5 – 10 minute period) when the score was illuminated on the scoreboard. I vote concussed. I went back into the Semi – Pro (non paid) game, promptly dropped a pick (it was low lol) but we won the championship. Players gonna play, ballers gonna ball. The only thing going through my mind, once it reset, was they are not carrying me off this field.

Rice talked to the Seattle FOX affiliate’s post game show and looked okay. That hit on Rice to the head could result in a fine. Might depend on how many steps after catch he took, though hard to expect to lay up on a game winning OT TD.

Lol of course not he was only laying there almost motionless for 3 mins. NFL cover ups are a joke.

Looked like he took a knee right to the side of the head. Maybe all the hair on the head cushioned his brain.

The term for the arms straightening is fencing, he has a concussion. They missed it or he isn’t being honest about symptoms

I hope he’s ok, but that was a vicious shot he had taken in the endzone
