After the contest, head coach Bill O'Brien passed the blame:
As for reports of Savage spitting up blood or having a seizure, here's what was reported:
It's unclear what exactly happened to Savage, but the quarterback did what several believe to be the "fencing response", which is common in combat athletes directly after a knockout. If Savage did indeed suffer a concussion, there will have to be a major response by the NFL as to why he was allowed back on the field with several fail-safes used to try and prevent such an action.
