Dane Jackson's Scary Scene

Monday night's scene involving Jackson turned grim as players from both teams gathered around the injured player. Jackson gave the crowd at Highmark Stadium a thumbs-up as he was loaded on the ambulance.

Edmunds commented on the play, which he said was frightening in real-time.

"Definitely a tough play. Just kind of saw the receiver still up, just trying to finish the play," Edmunds said after the game.

"A situation that, obviously, I didn't do intentionally. I would never try to do something like that to my teammate, but like I said ... the receiver was still up, I was just trying to finish him to the ground, and unfortunately, I end up hitting Dane."
