ResumeIn Week 9's Sunday Night Football matchup between the Eagles and Cowboys, Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins suffered a concussion — and went onto play more than a half of football "in a fog."

Bill Littlefield and Only A Game analyst Charlie Pierce wonder how effective the NFL's concussion protocol can be if players aren't fully abiding by the procedures.
