Mike McDaniel kissing Tua Tagovailoa's head after concussion was touching and heartbreaking

There was so much to take in after Tua Tagovailoa suffered another concussion on Thursday night after a legal hit from Damar Hamlin.

It was just so heartbreaking to see unfold. But as Tagovailoa walked off the field against the Buffalo Bills in Week 2, we saw his coach, Mike McDaniel, come up and give him a kiss on the head.

I don’t know of too many other head coaches who would do that to their player after something like that, but that just shows the kind of person McDaniel is. And he spoke about the concern he had for Tagovailoa:
