Episode Details

Troy Aikman, Dallas Cowboys quarterback, suffered a severe concussion in the 1994 NFC Championship Game, leading to amnesia. Despite this, he played in and led the team to victory in Super Bowl XXVIII just a week later. Modern NFL rules would have sidelined him due to the concussion, highlighting the evolution of concussion protocols in the league. Aikman had ten documented concussions during his career and retired in 2001 partly due to head and back issues.
