As much as I hated to see Mark Andrews go down, I can’t imagine this panning out well.

People ask how will anyone on the defense make a tackle. The answer is straight up and in a way that doesn’t massively injure players, period.

Some players do not use hip drop tackles, Wilson seemed to use them exclusively against the Ravens. It’s a visible, known act that can be penalized and fined such as helmet to helmet contact. Sure there will be instances of this being done accidentally or without malice intent. However, Refs being bad at their jobs is still no excuse for poor player safety.
