Welcome to the NFL, gentlemen! Welcome to big boy football. If a defender walks right through the offensive line or goes untouched, the quarterback is liable to get destroyed.
That’s exactly what happened here, and it’d be hard to sum it up in a simpler fashion.

If there’s one thing we know about the NFL, you have to keep your head on a swivel. If you don’t, you’re going to end up in the turf.

Next time, Flacco needs to pay attention to what’s behind him so that he doesn’t take the biggest of the day!
