As I posted- I was at the game Dennis Byrd broke his neck and was paralyzed. This was 1992, no social media and no internet. You could tell from the reaction of his teammates, which was similar to what you saw last night, something really, really bad had happened. It later came out that several of the Jets players could not go back into the game because they were so shaken up.
I remember Utley, and his “thumbs up”. Lions were really good that year, and made the NFC Championship Game for the only time in their history.
