Cheap Shot

While watching any sport, no fan likes to see any of their players get injured. Especially when it is your star quarterback in a close game! This is exactly what happened to the Vikings in their game against the Rams in their game today. To make matters worse, the play happened to be a cheap shot.

Teddy Bridgewater, the quarterback for the Vikings, was running for the first down marker when he slid to avoid the collision. LaMarcus Joyner, the Ram's cornerback who hit Bridgewater, had a different result in mind. As Bridgewater slid he received a devastating hit from the Ram's cornerback. Not only was this a major impact on Bridgewater, but it was enough to knock him completely unconscious. 

It is fair to say that this was a cheap shot. Below you can see the hit on Bridgewater and his teammate's reaction to the hit.
