Having broken ribs twice myself, I definitely understand how you'd alligator arm a ball over the middle. They must have shot him up with some good stuff. Broken ribs are cripplingly painful.

They sure are, mine still bother me from time to time over 25 years later. Props to him for manning up to play. I feel for him too. He made some great grabs and to miss that last one...

Guys like Romo and Big Ben played through broken ribs several times and it didn’t affect their play all that much, this really isn’t a valid excuse. It’s a tough break for him and the team but not the reason they lost. They were absolutely dominated for the last 3 quarters of the game, they’re actually lucky they were in it only down a score at the end there. Go Rams and Chiefs

Im not a professional athlete by any means but im in pretty good shape and have a pretty high pain tolerance (played my whole junior year of high school with a torn meniscus) and i honestly have no idea how someone with cracked ribs can play in a pro football game. I had a hairline fracture on one rib and for weeks it was incredibly painful just to get out of bed

Totally different positions and I'm sure those guys were wearing very heavy rib protectors that a WR would struggle to play with. Most likely, they probably also had broken ribs on their non-throwing side since that would be their blind side where they'd be most likely to take a big hit. Numbed up good, that would probably be the best non-kicker broken rib situation to try to deal with as long as they didn't take a big blindside hit.

Not to take anything away from them, but it's just nowhere near an apples to apples comparison. I couldn't imagine playing football regardless of position with broken ribs.

Ok doctor. Not everybody has the same tolerance to pain like others do so it is a valid excuse.
