Pittsburgh Steelers star ejected after vicious hit on Indianapolis Colts wide receiver
Following a brutal hit from Pittsburgh Steelers safety Damontae Kazee, Indianapolis Colts receiver Michael Pittman Jr. was ruled out with a concussion and was ejected from Saturday’s game. Pittsburgh Steelers safety Damontae Kazee was ejected from Saturday’s game after inflicting a brutal hit that left receiver Michael Pittman Jr. with a concussion.
During the second quarter of the second Saturday NFL game at Lucas Oil Arena, Kazee was shipped off the storage space subsequent to crashing into Pittman. Foals quarterback Gardner Minshew II drove the recipient into a hazardous situation with his pass, placing the 26-year-old in a weak position.
As Pittman jumped to get the ball, Kazee fiercely banged into the recipient with his shoulder, prompting pants encompassing the field. While Kazee was ejected and given a 15-yard penalty for excessive roughness, Pittman was lying prone on the turf.
While trainers attended to the receiver, Pittman’s teammates entered the field and surrounded him while he was down for a while. For certain players taking a knee, he got up and went to the sideline under his own power.
Pittman was quickly assessed for a blackout. The Foals at last precluded him close to the furthest limit of the subsequent quarter.
Prior to the collision, Pittman had made four receptions for 78 yards, bringing his season total to 99 receptions for 1,063 yards. Sadly, the hit prevented him from surpassing the franchise record of six games with eight or more receptions set by legendary receiver Marvin Harrison.
Without Kazee, the Steelers will be down to Trenton Thompson and Miles Killebrew close by Minkah Fitzpatrick at wellbeing. The Foals exploited the upset Steelers unit, driving 24-13 through 3/4.
After Matt Gay missed a field goal, a 12-play, 54-yard touchdown drive by the Steelers led to a touchdown. On his fourth-down sneak, Pittsburgh quarterback Mitchell Trubisky was initially ruled to have fumbled, but the ruling was quickly overturned.
On their subsequent drive, the Colts went three-and-out, and Pittsburgh stopped the punt. The Steelers took a 13-0 lead when they scored their second touchdown of the game after recovering at the one-yard line. In any case, Indianapolis hit back as Zack Greenery scored a hurrying score.
Following Pittman’s leave, the Foals came to the goalline yet neglected to score and turned the ball over on downs. D.J. Montgomery, an Indianapolis receiver, connected with Minshew on a crossing route, putting him in the end zone.
