You saw it, I saw it, Roger Goodell saw it and my head is still ringing from it four days later. The hit administered by Denver Broncos Linebacker Joe Mays on Houston Quarterback Matt Schaub will be one that Schaub will not soon forget. A portion of the quarterback’s ear was torn off when the helmet was dislodged from his head. Helmets are made to be snug to fit and protect and a jarring hit such as Mays delivered yielded force we all felt.
