NFL broadcasters were baffled by a massive hit in the Buffalo Bills playoff game.
The Buffalo Bills completely dominated the Denver Broncos on Sunday morning, and the team’s physicality was part of that.

The Bills crushed the Broncos 31-7, and they set the tone early with some big hits on Bengals players.
One of the biggest of those hits came in the first half on a Bills punt.
With the Bills leading 10-7, Buffalo punted to the Broncos.
The ball spent a long time in the air, allowing Bills special teams player and wide receiver Mack Hollins to barrel down the field.
He was the first on the scene when Broncos return man Marvin Mims caught the ball and he completely leveled him.
The hit was so hard that it was picked up by the game microphones and left the broadcasters wincing.
Tony Romo could be heard gasping while Jim Nantz did play-by-play for the punt.
“Ohhhh!” he could be heard saying behind Nantz.
Hollins hit Mims so hard that it actually started a squabble between the two teams which eventually led to a personal foul penalty on the Broncos.
NFL fans joined Romo in wincing at the massive hit and shared on social media.
“Laid buddy out!” one fan said.
“Damn, that was a nasty hit!” another fan said.
“MACK TRUCK,” a third fan said.
“That’s gonna leave a mark,” a fourth fan said.
