In the second quarter of the 2017 AFC Wild Card matchup between the Miami Dolphins and the Pittsburgh Steelers, Dolphins quarterback Matt Moore was the victim of a murder.
Pittsburgh outside linebacker Bud Dupree did what I can confirm was as close as we will ever come to seeing a man die during a football game. I seriously cannot believe the clip just below.
I saw the hit live, but it was so big, it just never seems to stop being talked about by my friends and I.
While Moore lay motionless on the ground, a scuffle broke out, and Dupree was penalized for roughing the passer. Moore was miraculously able to walk off the field with the assistance of trainers.
T.J. Yates came into the game for one play while Moore, noticeably shaken up, was being evaluated on the sidelines. Moore appeared dazed, but he came back into the game.
He was declared deceased, as you can see below.

There were also a few other amazing reactions on Twitter:
Concussion spotter: "Matt Moore, is a dolphin a fish or a mammal?"
MM: "I am Batman."
Spotter: "He's clear."

BC chimed in as well:
Dolphins concussion protocol:
“What’s in a vodka Red Bull, kid?”
Matt Moore: "Vodka & Red Bull."
Get back in there, kid.

He seemed to shake it off pretty well, and even continue playing.
