Don't watch this Video of Alex Smith tearing his leg up

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith takes away this week's cringe injury. Don't watch this if you don't want to see it. Just skip it. Close your eyes, idc.

Even though the Redskins as a franchise kind of deserve this (they do, don't lie - Dan Snyder is a snake), I feel really bad for Alex Smith. This is just a brutal way to go down period. 

Smith was carted off on Sunday and taken straight to the hospital. He broke his tibia and fibula, according to head coach Jay Gruden, and will have immediate surgery. Colt McCoy (who I had no idea was still in the league tbh) is the new Redskins starter, with the team bringing in QBs this week to work out. Like I mean Mark Sanchez. 

​Thoughts and prayers to all (most) Redskins fans.

extra points:

• Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson got a W today in his first NFL start against the Cincinnati Bengals. This is definitely what the team needed right now, but Jackson has got to learn to throw the ball at an NFL level or this won't last. 
• Tennessee Titans DC Dean Pees was taken to the hospital during Sunday's game following a medical emergency. He will stay overnight, but is expected to make a full recovery. 
• Today was a DAY as far as NFL storylines goes. One of the strangest was when it was stated that the Cleveland Browns were considering Condoleeza Rice as their new head coach. I still can't believe people immediately....eh....whtever. Both parties squashed the rumor and I'm still wondering what the fuck happened.
• The NFL didn't fine Kansas City Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill for last week's celebration where he grabbed a camera, but he did receive a warning. This reminds me to pay a parking ticket I got last week, thanks Tyreek.
• Several NFL head coaches are interested in bringing in Gary Kubiak for an offensive coordinator position. Gary was probably the best coordinator (out of 500) that the Ravens have had, so I support this decision.
• There was a rumor going around early on Sunday morning about how the Jacksonville Jaguars were talking of trading star CB Jalen Ramsey next season. Aside from being a completely horrible idea, the Jags quickly squashed the idea, stating that they have "zero intention" of trading Ramsey. 
• The Saints are still really good, icymi. I didn't think they could hold on this long at the rate they're going, but they're proving me wrong week after week. 
• The Tampa Bay Buccaneers played musical quarterback chairs again on Sunday. Jameis Winston replaced Ryan Fitzpatrick after he threw a pick six. No word on who the starter will be next week but does it really matter? If you have two QBs, you don't have one.
• The Detroit Lions are doing something utterly idiotic and giving QB Nathan Peterman a workout. I got nothin.
