Sunday’s highly-anticipated matchup between the Buffalo Bills and the Philadelphia Eagles had no shortage of action.

Video of Buffalo Bills S Micah Hyde’s ‘Dirty Play’ Goes Viral

One particular sequence during Sunday’s battle that is now getting a lot of attention on social media centers around Bills safety Micah Hyde.

This high-octane contest needed an extra period to decide a winner. It was Eagles superstar quarterback Jalen Hurts who won the game with a 12-yard touchdown in overtime. However, a video has now surfaced showing how the Philly QB could have gotten hurt badly during the crucial play:

Looks like #Bills’ safety Micah Hyde (#23) goes for a slide tackle here.

Hopefully this gets more attention, because it is an extremely dirty play.#Eagles #FlyEaglesFly pic.twitter.com/Err1uNf3da

Micah Hyde Called Out on Twitter

The fans on social media just had to call Hyde out for what they believe was a blatant attempt to hurt the Eagles star QB:

This play is just as dirty…

A missed call from Week 9 doesn’t make the play above any less dirty.

I am just happy he missed Jalen

Not everyone saw it that way, though. A lot of other fans believe that Hyde was merely trying to avoid a collision with his own teammate, which left him with no other choice but to slide out:

Or he slid out to prevent himself from colliding with a teammate who was coming from another angle. Do better.

Do us all a favor and watch this a few 100 times more, he was about to smoke his teammate…came nowhere near Mr. Overrated. Yall good

Nah. He’s trying not to crushed by his teammate bearing down on the ball and getting out of the way

I saw that too. But from the other angle it looked like he was getting down in order to avoid the contact from his teammate. I could be wrong. But the other angle makes it look a little different.

Whatever the case might be, the most important part here is that no one got hurt. The league has earned a reputation for reviewing and acting retroactively on these types of plays, so it will be very interesting to see if they do anything about this partciular sequence.
