Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson was left bleeding from the mouth after he took a huge hit in Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos.
The Browns were trailing 17-12 late in the third quarter and had 3rd-and-12 at their own 23. Thompson-Robinson showcased his athleticism by extending the play while he looked for an open receiver, but he was absolutely leveled by Broncos linebacker Baron Browning as DTR delivered a pass. Browning was called for roughing the passer, which gave Cleveland a first down.

Some felt that the hit from Browning was clean. The linebacker appeared to lead with his shoulder, though he did make contact with the neck area. Browning also left his feet.
Thompson-Robinson remained down on the turf for several seconds after the hit. He was later shown on the sideline bleeding from the mouth.
