As the NFL looks into the potential use of a hip-drop tackle against Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Chris Godwin, Baltimore Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith faces potential disciplinary sanctions.

Thanks to a remarkable five touchdowns from Lamar Jackson, the Ravens defeated the Bucs 41-31 on Monday Night Football. However, the game ended in a disappointing way as Godwin was able to recover from a season-ending dislocated ankle at the last second.

Aaron Rodgers brutally acknowledged the New York Jets’ loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter announced on Tuesday that the NFL is currently reviewing the game to see if Smith’s strike includes all of the elements of the hip-drop strike, which was unanimously decided to be prohibited at the league’s annual meeting back in March. Smith might face a suspension if the evaluation finds that the tackle violated the updated standard.

The NFL recently announced that it had examined 22 cases of what are known as hip-drop tackles.

Smith’s attack on Godwin can be described exactly as it was, despite rumours that the Ravens linebacker did not intend to harm Godwin.

It is challenging for referees to record every detail in lively games, and despite analysing these actions, authorities have not yet spoken to anyone. Only seven of the plays resulted in fines after they were finished.

The Tampa Bay star Godwin is preparing surgery on his dislocated ankle, and despite an optimistic prediction that he will be listed for the start of the 2025 NFL season, his future in Tampa Bay remains uncertain; after his contract expires, he may become a free agent, which would be a tragic end to his Buccaneers career, which included a Super Bowl victory since he was selected in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft.

When the Bucs were down 10 points with only one minute per game, Bucs coach Todd Bowles responded to rumours that he would not retire his best player by saying, “Our plegarias se dirigen an él.” Chris is an amazing athlete and a wonderful person. Not much to offer.

You feel his companionship, and unfortunately, they have no plans to cancel the games. We had to look up and go on. “Pero nuestros corazones son pesados.”

Godwin had already noted seven receipts totalling 65 yards prior to his lesson. Alongside Mike Evans, who also had to leave the team for the first time due to an injury, he has stood out throughout seven games this season with a league-best 50 receptions for 576 yards and five touchdowns.

The 4-3 Buccaneers, who are carrying injuries, are getting ready for a pivotal NFC South game against the 4-3 Atlanta Falcons at Raymond James Stadium on Sunday.
