Justin Fields was briefly replaced by backup Tyrod Taylor during the second quarter of the Jets' Week 7 contest against the Panthers on Sunday afternoon.
After the QB ran a sweep to the left for a first down, he slid to try and protect himself before being absolutely crushed by Carolina safety Nick Scott. Some relative chaos ensued, with both teams pushing and shoving each other, and several flags were thrown.
Here's a look at the play:
