Bennett said there were no replays in the stadium to spot Browns concussion
Well I watched the hit on replay in the ground 3 times and he was clearly hit in the head full on
He also dropped a simple ball not long after
Bennett totally wrong on that call

Same here, three times they showed it and I could see from the opposite end that he was concussed before he hit the ground.
