- Brown briefly exited for evaluation, returned to finish the game, and later said his vision remained hazy and would be checked by doctors.
- Asked if the poke through his facemask was accidental, Brown told reporters he did not think so.
- Under the NFL’s routine postgame review, missed actions can draw fines typically announced the following week.
