The Chicago Bears vs the Green Bay Packers game took a dramatic turn early in the second quarter. Packers quarterback Jordan Love got hit in the head by Bears defensive end Austin Booker. Love was then being evaluated for a concussion.
As Love headed to the locker room, fans on social media tried to dissect what happened on the field and who was at fault. Regardless of the opinions, the Packers were down one starter as Malik Willis replaced him in the game.
The collision happened when Booker charged toward Love, who was in possession of the ball. The Packers quarterback didn’t have time to avoid the collision, and the two met headfirst.
Yeah if they allow Jordan love to return the NFL should be investigated

Booker hit Love in the helmet with the crown of his own helmet. He drew a personal foul flag for that while Love stayed on the ground. He was visibly in pain and initially even struggled to open his eyes. Teammates and staff rushed to check up on him.
After a while, Love stood up and headed to the sidelines for evaluation. First, he went to the blue injury tent, and then shortly after, he went to the locker room.
Fans debated whether the collision could have been avoided. From the footage, it doesn’t seem like it was possible. However, a section of fans online believes that Love could’ve at least not lowered his head in the same direction.

Love was ruled out for the rest of the game with a concussion. If he just avoided that, this wouldn’t have become a concussion problem. After Willis took over, the game progressed with the Packers in the lead. At halftime, they were up 6-0 against the home team.
Jordan Love Was Injured Against the Broncos
This was love’s second injury in the last three outings against the Bears. Last week, when the Packers played the Broncos, Love was shoved by safety Talanoa Hufanga. He pushed Love’s head against the ground, and surprisingly, no flag was thrown that time.
Earlier today, the league decided to book Hufanga for “unnecessary roughness” against the quarterback. He was slapped with an $11,593 fine.
