Raiders’ Johnathan Abram slides into a TV cart, causing people to react with anger
It was a scary moment for Las Vegas Raiders safety Johnathan Abram in the first quarter.
The second-year pro was attempting to make a tackle near a goal line on New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara when he turned around, tripped and stumbled to the ground and rolled near the ESPN television cart.
Abram laid there for a few minutes before he popped up and ran to the Raiders sideline.
Fans, agents and TV personalities weren’t too happy with ESPN having its cart near the sideline in the inaugural Allegiant Stadium and voiced their displeasure.
Abram was back on the field on the Saints’ next series.
Last season, Abram played in the season opener before exiting because of a torn labrum against the Denver Broncos.
In last Sunday’s 34-30 win over the Carolina Panthers, Abram led the team in tackles with 13.
