There was a frightening situation on the sideline during today’s AFC West clash between the Denver Broncos and San Diego Chargers.
Broncos defensive coordinator Wade Phillips was observing the game from the sideline. After Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers threw an interception to Denver, a San Diego player ended up drilling Phillips at full speed.
Phillips crashed to the ground.
