Connor Shaw calls tackle that broke his leg 'cheap BS' image

Bears quarterback Connor Shaw understands he — every player, really — puts their body at risk when they play football. 

But that doesn't mean Shaw won't call out what he thinks is a cheap play, like the one from Chiefs defensive tackle Rakeem Nunez-Roches that broke his leg in Chicago's preaseason game on Saturday.

Shaw, in a since-deleted tweet, called out Nunez-Roches for the play.

"Injuries are a part of the game & I understand that. This should've been avoided. No need for that type of cheap BS!"

To be fair, Nunez-Rochez definitely took his shot at Shaw well after he had thrown the ball:

You be the judge: Was Shaw's injury the result of 'cheap BS,' or just the reality of playing a violent game?
