I know this is veering into the dark wish to be forgotten past, but this is deplorable:

As Benjamin Wallace-Wells noticed at New York Magazine, the Giants said they targeted Williams with big hits all game long because of his past concussions. In the rush to wring our hands over what happened to Kyle Williams, we might have missed what really happened.

Devin Thomas, the Giants' special-teamer who recovered Williams' first fumble, told the Newark Star-Ledger, "He’s had a lot of concussions. We were just like, ‘We gotta put a hit on that guy.’ ... [Giants safety Tyler] Sash did a great job hitting him early and he looked kind of dazed when he got up. I feel like that made a difference and he coughed it up."

Jaquian Williams, the Giants cornerback who forced Williams' second fumble, said afterward, "We knew he had four concussions, so that was our biggest thing, was to take him outta the game."

This is disgusting.  What a classless organization. The truly better team didn't win. I know that football is a full contact sport and you do whatever it takes to win, but there is no "football justification" for those motives. It's not an excuse, we lost, but that is sickening knowing that players possess that mentality in this sport.

I said it's not an excuse. It wasn't about losing, it was about their classless organization and coaching staff ordering their players to incur possibly eternal brain damage just for the sake of winning
