New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman didn’t try to hide it.
In fact, he quickly admitted to it after their 24-17 win against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday night.
In the third quarter, Edelman collided with Bills safety Jordan Poyer and fell straight to the ground — and remained totally still almost as if he had been knocked unconscious. Once he saw penalty flags had been thrown, Edelman jumped back up.
Not sure the OPI was intentional on Edelman. Looks like maybe he's just protecting himself. But I also get why it has to be called.
