Sunday's game between the Jaguars and Texans descended into chaos multiple times, including Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence being dragged off the field after being clotheslined by Houston linebacker Azeez Al Shaair.
At the end of the first quarter, Lawrence, who had just returned from missing two games with a shoulder injury, scrambled to his feet, but apparently couldn't find a free teammate and slid down. But then, the Texans' Al Shair swung through his defender and struck Lawrence with a forearm blow after the QB was already on the ground.

The impact sent Lawrence back onto the grass, but it also prompted his team-mates to chase after Al Shail. A scrum eventually drew both teams onto the field, resulting in a pushing, punching, and shoving match that lasted several minutes.
Meanwhile, medical personnel tended to Lawrence, who was still lying on the field.
But the anger didn't end there, as a new brawl broke out between Al Shair and Jaguars offensive lineman Brandon Schaaf, who began yelling at each other.
The scrum resulted in two sending offs and one penalty. Al Shail and Jaguars cornerback Jarrian Jones were ejected, and Jaguars tight end Evan Engram was penalized for unnecessary roughness.
It was also reported that the home team's fans got in on the action, as Houston's Al Shair noticed he was showered with trash and beer cups as he left the field. new york post Reported.
The game ended in a 6-0 Texans victory.
