SAN FRANCISCO – The only player to stop Carolina linebacker Luke Kuechly this year? Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon.
In the teams’ Week 1 game, Kuechly sustained a concussion when he tried to tackle Yeldon. Kuechly missed the next three games.
At Super Bowl Opening Night Monday, Kuechly talked about the play.
“I went in to hit [Yeldon] and I slipped a little bit. I moved and then he moved at the last second and the way the contact happened, it was poor tackling form,” Kuechly said. “I need to have my head up and if I would have don’t that, the issue wouldn’t have happened.
