There was a scary moment after a tackle on Thursday night in Cleveland.
Late in the second quarter, Browns' Elijah Moore was tackled from behind on a routine play, but he went to the ground awkwardly.
The receiver fell helmet first onto the playing surface and then turned onto his back.

While he was on the ground, Moore's head shook back and forth, which seemed like him shaking off the hit at first, but then his arms began flailing.
Though his arms were not moving violently, it did look as if Moore had no control over them, prompting a teammate to call for the training staff.
The Amazon Prime Video broadcast was quick to change camera angles.
Trainers were quickly at Moore's side and he eventually walked off the field with some help. He did not return to the game after the Browns said he suffered a concussion.
Dr. Evan Jeffries, who is on X, formerly Twitter, as the "@GameInjuryDoc," said Moore's movements were "involuntary…from a brain injury."
Another doctor, Jesse Morse, said Moore may have suffered a seizure.
