“What happened with him was criminal,” a solemn, sober Smith said then. “He should have never, ever been allowed to stay on the field, even though he survived that game that Miami won , and he certainly shouldn’t have been allowed on the field that Thursday night against Cincinnati, when another hit, where his head hit the turf and it looked like rigor mortis had kicked in and his fingers were contorted, and his body froze.
