Analyst Pat McAfee Reacted To The Jack Campbell Injury
Notable analyst Pat McAfee reacted to Campbell’s stunning injury, noting that plays like the one that caused it happen multiple times during a game, leaving players vulnerable to injury at any moment.
“This hit looked like that it happens maybe 60 times in a football game,” said McAfee on The Pat McAfee Show. “This is a quick reminder that this is possible at any moment in this sport. Obviously, our prayers, positive vibes, and thoughts are with Jack and his family, the entire Lions organization, but this is the scary reality of football.”
“Hutch comes and wrecks it, emotionally driven by seeing his friend carted off like that,” McAfee added. “Absolutely devastated for Jack Campbell and just a reminder of what could happen on the football field.”
The Lions, who also lost multiple other players during the win over the Vikings, have no choice but to press on when they face the Miami Dolphins on Sunday on the road.
