Bradley Bozeman's wife Nikki delivers 3-word verdict to center protecting Justin Herbert from dirty play vs Saints
This Sunday, Justin Herbert was at the receiving end of an ugly play on field while going up against the New Orleans Saints.
Saints defensive lineman Nathan Shepherd went for Herbert's leg, which could have potentially injured the Los Angeles Chargers quarterback.
Fans and teammates were rightfully upset over the situation, many calling out Shepherd for his play. However, many were praising center Bradley Bozeman, who dived at Shepherd right after the play. The referee and Herbert separated the two eventually.
Bozeman's wife, Nikki, also reacted on the same. Quote tweeting a post on X, she delivered a three-word response to the whole ordeal.
"Justice was served 😮💨" Nikki Boseman wrote in her X post.
Bozeman, of course, was furious over the play, even referring to it as 'dirty' in his postgame interview.
"It was probably one of the dirtier plays I've ever seen," Bozeman said. "You protect your quarterback no matter what. And I think any of our offensive linemen that was in my position would've done the same thing."
There have been people hoping for a suspension for Shepherd, with many unhappy that such a strategy is being used in the NFL.
Saints coach Dennis Allen defended Nathan Shepherd after a controversial play vs Justin Herbert.
While people are calling for a suspension, Saints coach Dennis Allen has come to his player's defense. As per Allen, Shepherd wasn't trying to hurt Herbert like people are suggesting.
"There was nothing malicious about that play. It's a guy that's trying to make the play. I went back and looked at that play again after seeing the comments and I don't agree with that," Allen said.
Allen added that Shepherd probably didn't know if Herbert had the ball or not, and was simply trying to bring the opposition's QB down. A few fans have also supported the Saints DL, stating that no one would intentionally try and hurt another player.
Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh made a statement of his own. While he didn't endorse what Bozeman did, he does believe anyone playing that day knew Herbert had a bad ankle.
