In case you missed the big game Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers lost to the Baltimore Ravens 23-26.
That wasn't the big story of the afternoon though, it was the hit quarterback Mason Rudolph took that knocked him unconscious.
While the medical team was going through concussion protocol with Mason on the field, the medical cart that came out to help him broke down on the field.

While we, the fans, saw this as an issue, the NFL said all was okay.
Colin Dunlap from 93.7 The Fan tweeted the direct quote from the NFL on "Cart Gate".
WOW! You're kidding me right?!
Was anyone from the NFL actually watching that game or the way Mason walked off the field?!
Per protocol, the medical personnel that checked on Mason immediately removed his facemask, which is standard practice for when a player will be strapped to a stretcher and placed on a cart. Medical staff felt it was necessary to bring out the cart and it has been reported that Mason would have been placed on it to be taken off the field to a waiting ambulance on the cart if it had been functioning.
Seems like there is two conflicting stories going on and someone from the NFL needs to get their facts straight..
