Dolphins QB Matt Moore Brutally Hit In NFL Playoffs 2017, Returns Startlingly Fast

We’ll have to forgive Matt Moore for struggling in the NFL playoffs.

The Miami Dolphins quarterback took a brutal hit Sunday in his team’s AFC wild-card round game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Linebacker Bud Dupree laid out Moore in the second quarter with this shot.

Many feared for Moore’s health following the hit, including several of his fellow players. Yet he returned to the game after sitting out just one play.
