The field erupted in a brawl immediately after the hit, which left Lawrence laying motionless on his back as chaos erupted around him. Team doctors eventually carted the quarterback off of the field, and the team has yet to officially update his status.
After the melee finally subsided, officials booted Al-Shaair from the contest. Jaguars fans pelted him with objects from the stands as he exited the field, barking angrily at the crowd as he did so.
The incident garnered heavy reaction across social media, much of it negative and directed at Al-Shaair who has a history of dirty play. That history includes grabbing the throat of former NFL quarterback and current FOX Sports color commentator Tom Brady.
Video of that play resurfaced online in the aftermath of Al-Shaair's ejection. The linebacker was a member of the San Francisco 49ers at the time, while Brady was playing QB for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
"A reminder of when Azeez Al-Shaair went for the throat against Tom Brady," an X user captioned the video.
The good news for Lawrence and the Jaguars is that the QB left the field conscious and sitting up in the cart as he headed to the locker room with what announcers dubbed a head injury, which could be a concussion.
As for Al-Shaair, he will likely face further punishment from the NFL, potentially including a fine and/or suspension.
