Kansas City Chiefs fans likely won't be happy with the latest news surrounding Cleveland Browns linebacker Mack Wilson, who delivered the hit that concussed Patrick Mahomes.
According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Wilson will not be fined for the hit that put Mahomes in concussion protocol during last weekend's divisional-round matchup.
Two controversial plays from last week’s #Browns-#Chiefs game -- Mack Wilson’s takedown that put Patrick Mahomes in concussion protocol, and Daniel Sorensen’s helmet hit on Rashard Higgins that caused a fumble -- resulted in no fines from the NFL.
