Vikings OL Brian O’Neill evaluated for concussion after hit from Nick Bosa

Minnesota Vikings tackle Brian O’Neill left Saturday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers after an ugly blind-side block by Nick Bosa. The 49ers had just intercepted Minnesota quarterback Kirk Cousins, and the return was in progress when Bosa took O’Neill out with a nasty hit. O’Neill stayed down and had to be taken to the locker room to be checked for a concussion. The hit infuriated Vikings players, who confronted Bosa and other 49ers players afterward. The Vikings have a right to be unhappy. Bosa’s hit was unnecessary and dangerous, and it’ll likely cost him. It likely ensures a second week of discussion over the dirtiness of a hit in the playoffs, too.
