and you can definitely get a concussion without any contact whatsoever to your head or neck. I’ve seen it hundreds of times in my line of work

No doubt. But something has to make the brain bang around inside the skull like a pinball. A car wreck is the normal cause.

I would argue that the hit is what caused the concussion in this case. I do not think it was a case of Immaculate Concussion. That hit knocked him unconscious. Consider it a car wreck without the car, even though in this case there was helmet to helmet contact.

They told us the whole purpose of the targeting rule was to prevent concussions and CTE.

It didn’t work here. Ol boy still got knocked out.

Everyone loves big hits. Except the guy receiving it. And often times the guy delivering it.
