    Patrick Mahomes sends simple but perfect message after Tua Tagovailoa's scary hit to head in TNF matchup against Bills

    In the second half of Thursday Night's Football game between the Dolphins and the Buffalo Bills, Miami star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa remained down on the ground after taking a scary hit to the head.

    Training staff immediately rushed out to help him, and social media went crazy with well wishes for the quarterback.

    Among them was Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who sent a simple, but perfect message.

    "🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽," Mahomes wrote.

    The Dolphins immediately ruled out Tagovailoa with a concussion.

    The quarterback led with his shoulder and head when trying to gain some extra yards and crashed right into Bills safety Damar Hamlin. It was immediately apparent that it was a head injury.

    However, he was able to walk off on his own and headed straight into the locker room.

    Concussions are always a very scary injury for any football player to sustain, but for Tagovailoa it's even more so because of his history.

    During the 2022 season, Tagovailoa hit his head hard on the ground in a Week 3 matchup against the Bills. He was stumbling when he got up and briefly went to the sidelines.

    But he was cleared by a neurologist, which led to a NFL Players Association Inquiry regarding the handling of Tagovailoa's head injury. The neurologist was later fired.

    In the Dolphins next game, which was just four days after Tagovailoa sustained the initial head injury, he was back out on the field for a Thursday Night Football game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

    He once again took a very hard hit that resulted in his head slamming against the turf. He remained on the ground afterwards with his fingers frozen in the air.
