A scary moment occurred on Friday during the Detroit Lions' preseason matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Lions cornerback Moric Norris suffered a serious head injury and had to be taken out of the game by ambulance.
In the second half, Norris appeared to have taken a knee to the end, and he was lying down on the field for a considerable amount of time. In the fourth quarter, the Falcons led the Lions 17-10.
They then decided to forfeit a snap, and both teams gathered together in prayer for Norris. The game stopped at the 6:51 minute mark.
All of which prompted a reaction from Lions fans and observers on social media.
“T his is bigger than the game. Emotional moment as Lions and Falcon’s players come together in unity and pray for Morice Norris🙏🏼 ” @lio
