Must Suffer Consequences

After we had suffered so much suspense,
Seahawks team must suffer consequence;
Here is a hint;
Use blue tent;
No wonder everyone does seem so tense.

Jim Horn

The NFL concussion policy states that a player believed to have concussion symptoms cannot return to "practice or play" unless team physician and an independent neurological consultant clear him. This season, the league added a blue sideline tent to allowe initial test be administered in private.
With backup Austin Davis being in the game, NBC's broadcast showed Wilson running to the sideline and then sitting down in the area where the tent would be pulled over him. But Wilson got back up before medical officials had a chance to join him and then replaced Davis after one play. Wilson was on the field for two more plays before the Seahawks punted. During the change of possession, Wilson entered the tent and remained there for a longer period of time. He was on field when Seahawks regained possession.
