Impact Brown-Stephens was able to walk off under his own power but he looked like he may have suffered a concussion. He was hit in the head by a defender on a tackle that could have been called targeting, but it was ruled a legal play that caused Brown-Stephens to lose a fumble. Brown-Stephens had a higher profile in the offense with Chris Autman-Bell missing the game with an ankle injury.
