Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson was a one-man wrecking crew against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football. His hits on quarterback Lamar Jackson and tight end Mark Andrews apparently crossed the line in the eyes of many NFL fans and pundits.
Mark Andrews was Logan Wilson's first casualty. The former caught a pass from Lamar Jackson in the red zone early in the first half. Wilson promptly tackled Andrews at the 3-yard line. Television replays showed Wilson's hip making contact with Andrews' left ankle as he made the tackle.

Mark Andrews hobbled to the blue tent without any assistance. However, he later walked on crutches after having his ankle X-rayed. Andrews went to the locker room for further evaluation afterward. The Ravens fear he is likely out for the rest of the 2023 NFL season.

Logan Wilson struck again later in the first half against the Ravens on TNF. Lamar Jackson scampered for yardage toward the sideline. His left ankle bore the full brunt of Wilson's body weight as the Bengals linebacker tackled him. Fortunately, Jackson returned to the game after medical staff evaluated him.
Wilson also took out veteran Ravens wideout Odell Beckham, Jr. The latter apparently suffered a shoulder injury after Logan Wilson tackled him in the fourth quarter on Thursday. Beckham did not return.
