The Jacksonville Jaguars almost had the worst happen to them against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football. As Trevor Lawrence, the franchise guy, was sacked, his leg was folded behind him. The stadium got quiet, as Everyone thought Lawrence had just suffered a long-term injury.
Luckily, it was just a high ankle sprain and nothing worse. However, it still looked pretty bad. The controversial thing that happened was that the Jaguars did not have a cart for Lawrence. It's a question that a lot of people asked, including Colin Cowherd of Fox.
You don't have a cart? It's Florida; everybody owns a golf cart... Maybe you should move to Orlando because you're such a Mickey Mouse operation.

One Jaguars player did not seem too fond of that statement, especially in the second half of it. Logan Cooke, the Jaguars punter, responded to it perfectly.
You're a clown, dude… the people in that facility are treated like GOLD!!

Logan Bowles, who is a team photographer on the Jaguars, said he had seen it all happen, and it's not what it looked like on TV.
As someone who was on the sidelines during the moment the cart came. Didn't need it. It's not hard to learn the facts before speaking.

So, it would appear that Lawrence made the call not to have the cart. Either way, this is all a lot.
