On the first play of the third quarter, Norris went to tackle Atlanta’s Nathan Carter when the running back’s knee appeared to slam into the safety’s facemask, sending his head backward.

He stayed down on the turf at Mercedes-Benz Stadium before being placed on a backboard and placed in an ambulance.

Once play was set to resume, the 22 players on the field met at midfield and formed a circle, holding hands.

They let the game clock run down to 6:30 in the fourth before referees officially suspended the game.
