New England Patriots team captain Matthew Slater praised the Green Bay Packers in the aftermath of teammate Isaiah Bolden getting carted off the field on Saturday night. The rookie cornerback remained on the ground following a collision in the fourth quarter, and had to be moved off the field on a stretcher.
The game was eventually suspended. Afterwards, Slater shared his opinion to the event and also made sure to praise his team’s opponent.
“I appreciate the leadership on their team,” he said. “I think a lot of those guys, Aaron [Jones] stepped up, and I think Rasul [Douglas] and a couple of other guys really handled that situation the right way.
