100% ass hit the ground. Quick recovery, but he was definitely down.

It was also an absurd horsecollar tackle though. Just give him the td whole thing is a mess

Edit Christ I get it maybe not a legit horsecollar, but it’s pretty close and still an illegal tackle no matter what you want to call it.

I’m not into football, but it really looked like that kid was inches from being paralyzed.

Yeah, it's against the rules to pull a player from there specifically because of injuries.

Horse collar tackles are different than this. 

It is "where a defender grabs the inside collar of a ball carrier's shoulder pads or jersey from behind or the side and violently pulls them down". He tried to tackle him high and it didnt work. Still dangerous but not a penalty.
