CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Officials rushed to calm Carolina Panthers players after quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was knocked out of Thursday night’s loss by what running back Mike Davis called a “cheap shot" from Atlanta defensive end Charles Harris.
It was a markedly different reaction from what the Dallas Cowboys showed last Sunday, when quarterback Andy Dalton was hit by Washington linebacker Jon Bostic, causing a concussion. Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said he was upset about the passive reaction his team showed.
