Joe Flacco could miss significant time after suffering what may be a concussion after a brutal hit on Thursday night, and Dolphins linebacker Kiko Alonso may be facing a significant fine for his hit.
The hit occurred in the waning minutes of the first half of the game between the Dolphins and Ravens. On a 3rd and 10 play near the Dolphins goal line, Flacco took off out of the pocket and scrambled toward the first down marker. Just before the first-down line, Flacco slid feet first but was met with a jarring hit from Kiko Alonso, one that sent Flacco’s helmet flying and prompted teammates to take on Alonso.
The play drew a personal foul on Alonso and allowed the Ravens to continue the drive, with Ryan Mallett coming into the game in relief of Flacco and throwing a touchdown to Benjamin Watson.
