Former USC linebackers Clay Matthews and Brian Cushing were supposed to be leading their respective NFL defenses when the Green Bay Packers visit the Houston Texans on Sunday night. That likely won't happen now, and Matthews is upset with the NFL.
Cushing left the Texans' Monday night win against the New York Jets in the second quarter with what is feared to be a serious knee injury suffered on a block from behind. Matthews took to Twitter to voice his displeasure with the NFL's lack of protection of defensive players.
"Where is the NFL's protection on blocks below the waist like that on Cushing. Double standard," Matthews tweeted, then adding, "If the NFL really wants to increase player safety, start protecting players on BOTH sides of the ball."
