The whistle blew, Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Derek Barnett came in late with a helmet-to-helmet hit and Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams went down in a heap.
It was a scary way to start “Thursday Night Football.”
Williams seemed to be knocked cold by the late, illegal hit. He was down for a few seconds, tried to get up and trainers had him stay down. He was put a stretcher and wheeled off.
