The field was so bad that NFLPA JC Tretter to Twitter to blast the NFL for allowing players to play under those field conditions.
“The NFL said that this field met minimum testing standards. We clearly need to re-evaluate what is an acceptable surface for players to compete on. We need new testing metrics looking at the performance and safety of every field. The NFL can and should do better.”
