Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco was on the wrong side of one of the most gruesome hits from Thursday evening. The aftermath of it all was the veteran gunslinger suffering a concussion and becoming (unfortunately) a meme.
Meme first:
The actual play that led to it:

The player doing the dirty hit was Miami Dolphins talent Kiko Alonzo.
Asked about Alonso after the game, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said:
“I’m not going to comment on that. It was penalized correctly, I would say.”
“That’s not for me to say (if Alonzo should have been ejected),” Harbaugh said. “It’s a fair question. Put it that way.”
At the time of this writing, it is unknown how long Joe Flacco will be out with the concussion. This is not lost on Harbaugh, but he believes his team is prepared for this.
“We've had a lot of injuries this year, so our guys know how to handle it,” coach John Harbaugh said. “We expect there to be no drop off. Everybody else rallies to make sure that happens.”
Some Baltimore players are already looking ahead to life without Elite Joe Flacco:
“The challenge going ahead is that you have eight [games] left,” linebacker Terrell Suggs said. “You can't go .500 out of those eight. You definitely have to take care of the game you are supposed to win. You have to play some ferocious football down the stretch.”
Nevertheless, here is to hoping Flacco is as OK as possible after that gruesome hit.
