It Didn't Look That Bad

It looked like a play where WR Randy Moss would take the brunt of it. He was leaping in the air to catch a 16 yard pass early in the 3rd quarter during last week's 17-10 win over the Bills.

CB Terrence McGee attempted to break up the play by crashing into the hip of Moss while leading with his right shoulder. These collisions can be especially devastating for the receiver because he is off his feet.

Moss caught the ball and both players fell to the turf. Moss went on to have a great game. McGee had a torn rotator cuff and will be placed on IR. He will need surgery and undergo a long rehab process to return to the field.

Two players during one play both had different results. Fans of the game often don't realize the fragility of the player's careers. One play can change everything. One play can end a career.
