Browns LB Mack Wilson not fined for hit on Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes

By Erin Walsh | Last updated 1/23/21

Kansas City Chiefs fans likely won't be happy with the latest news surrounding Cleveland Browns linebacker Mack Wilson, who delivered the hit that concussed Patrick Mahomes.

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Wilson will not be fined for the hit that put Mahomes in concussion protocol during last weekend's divisional-round matchup.

Two controversial plays from last week’s #Browns-#Chiefs game -- Mack Wilson’s takedown that put Patrick Mahomes in concussion protocol, and Daniel Sorensen’s helmet hit on Rashard Higgins that caused a fumble -- resulted in no fines from the NFL.

Mahomes suffered the concussion while attempting to run on a 3rd-and-1 play when Wilson tackled him, twisting his neck and head in the process.

Wilson tweeted encouraging words to Mahomes after the game. Mahomes responded, saying "All good, brother!"
