In this video you see Donovan McNabbb run into the end zone for a TD, and then get hurt from a cheap shot. At the goal line Donovan is met by #31 Richard Marshall, who attempts to tackle McNabb out of the end zone. Quinton Teal number 26 attempts to help on the tackle, but he flies past McNabb, and barely gets a finger on him.
The real issue is Tyler Brayton #96, and Damione Lewis #92 both seem to pile on McNabb after he is already on his way to the ground. Brayton in fairness really did not do much wrong, but Lewis was clearly late with his hit. Once McNabb crosses the plain of the end zone with the ball, the play is dead, and McNabb was actually hit while laying on his back in the end zone.
This is not the first time this cheap shot Carolina team has done this to McNabb. Back in the 2003 NFC Championship Game, LB Greg Favors also hit McNabb late causing a very similar rib injury.
The real joke of this is the NFL did not even fine anyone for this hit. Instead they chose to fine 7 Eagles 10 grand each for an excessive celebration play. The NFL clearly has their priorities in order.
