A hard hit on Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence by Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shair sparked a brawl during their game on Sunday.

Lawrence fought through for the first time with just over 4 minutes left in the half. He tried to slide to avoid the hit, but as he fell to the ground, Al-Shair struck Lawrence’s head and neck area. The quarterback was briefly on the ground, and the Jaguars players came over to accommodate Al-Shaair in their own way.

Al-Shair was also seen grappling with Jaguars offensive lineman Brandon Scherff. Both players had to be held back.

When the dust cleared, penalties were imposed. Al-Shair and Jaguars cornerback Jarrian Jones were both ejected from the game. Jaguars tight end Evan Engram was assessed an unnecessary roughness penalty.

Lawrence was able to sit upright and left the game on a cart. He was 4 of 10 for 41 yards and an interception in the game.

The Jaguars ruled him out because of a concussion.

Houston led 6-0 at that point.

The Texans were looking to make up for a surprising loss to the Tennessee Titans last week. They went into the game with a record of 7-5.
