While the hit looks violent on video, Field said it wasn’t that bad.
“It didn’t really hurt, to be honest with you,” Fields told reporters after the game, per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. “I think the one thing that hurt was my helmet coming off and hitting me in the eye. But the actual hit, it wasn’t that crazy.”
It’s good to hear Fields is feeling fine after taking a nasty shot.
