Philadelphia Eagles receiver DeVonta Smith exited Sunday's game against the Saints after taking a scary hit in the fourth quarter.
Smith's helmet came flying off after he collided with New Orlean's lineman Khristian Boyd at the tail end of a 5-yard reception. He was virtually motionless on the ground at the Superdome before trainers ran on the field and escorted him to the blue medical tent. Not long after, Smith was ruled out for the rest of the game and made his way back to the locker room. It was later reported that he suffered a concussion from the hard hit.
Fans Slam Saints Player For Spitting on Injured Devonta Smith
But even worse than the brutal hit was the extracurricular activity that came afterwards. Saints defensive lineman Peyton Smith, who delivered the blow, appeared to spit on Devonta while he was laid out
Fans across the league took to major exception to his actions.
"He needs a 3 game suspension plus fine" one fan testified.
Another fan questioned, "HOW WAS THAT NOT A PERSONAL FOUL ON THAT DEVONTA SMITH HIT WHAT???"
"Saints are playing so dirty today wtf," another fan added.
"He should be suspended multiple games!," another fan suggested.
"Refs look like they had the Saints today. Glad to see them loose that bet at Caesars Super Dome," another fan boasted after the Saints lost the game.
Eagles Have Been at The Center of Controversy This Season
Its only week three and the Eagles have already been involved in multiple altercations. Last week when the took on the Saints during Monday Night Football An altercation popped off in the first half between Falcons Ray-Ray McCloud and Eagles' C.J. Gardener-Johnson.
The two players had an apparent dispute after a play was blown dead. And that is when Gardener-Johnson ripped out the mouthpiece of Ray-Ray McCloud. That led to the Falcons' defensive back throwing a punch.
However, despite both players being guilty of unsportsmanlike conduct on the play, only McCloud drew a penalty flag on the play.
Altercations aside, things are looking grim for the Eagles even in a winning effort. They already came into the game without one star wide receiver in A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith did not return to the game after the injury. If they are going to be without both receivers moving forward things could get ugly for Philadelphia.
