Drew Brees - San Fran player took him out by breaking most of his ribs.
Not only eleven broken ribs and a collapsed lung, he had a torn rotator cuff and some other injury and still made it to the playoffs. The Saints swept Brady twice during the regular season. They had Taysom Hill out in the divisional round which hurt the Saints.
Drew took himself out by bowing the knee on command to BLM. I used to respect the guy.
