Broncos defensive coordinator Wade Phillips takes scary hit on the sideline
Play was stopped for several minutes in Denver after 69-year-old Broncos defensive coordinator Wade Phillips was run into on the sideline. Medical personnel quickly attended to him after taking the vicious blind-side hit.
Players from both the Broncos and Chargers took a knee as Phillips was loaded onto a stretcher and carted off the sideline.
Phillips could be seen moving both his hands and pointing his index finger in the air.
