NFL players left to question clean hits on quarterbacks

ASHBURN | When Buffalo Bills linebacker Lorenzo Alexander spun off right tackle Morgan Moses, then sacked quarterback Kirk Cousins last Friday, he let out two yells.

The first was based in excitement. Alexander was part of the Redskins’ organization from 2006-2012, mostly playing as a backup linebacker and important member of special teams. He’s on his third team since leaving Washington, so a sack in FedEx Field was noteworthy for him. Even in the preseason.

His second yelp came after he saw the official’s yellow flag on the ground.
