More on: Redskins, Titans, Lorenzo Alexander, ouch, video (all tags)

In case you weren't watching the preseason game between the Titans and Redskins on Saturday (and if you weren't: how dare you!) there was a wild play towards the end of the game in which Washington defensive tackle Lorenzo Alexander sacked Titans QB Tim Rattay. What makes the play so crazy is that Alexander lost his helmet during his pursuit and as he tackled Rattay, he took a nasty shot from safety Reed Doughty that left him feeling lightheaded with slashes to his lip and cheek that unbelievably required just six stitches to close up.

The first thing I checked for was my teeth," Alexander said after a Tuesday morning walk-through. "All of them were there, so I was real happy about that. My mom was real happy that I had all my teeth, too.

But the beat down wasn't for nothing because Alexander ended up receiving a really cool nickname as a result of his wounds: Scarface. If you missed the helmetless tackle then here's a clip with what very well could be a future Monday Night Football announcer calling the action.

His head is not healthy right now. Why did he do that? He's probably bleeding. He probably smacked his head open.

Watch your back Jaws, this lady is coming for your job!
