Bradley Bozeman’s reaction to ‘dirty hit’ on Chargers’ Justin Herbert feeds foundation
LA TimesJustin Herbert tries to pull away center Bradley Bozeman, who reacted to a tackle of the Chargers quarterback by the Saints’ Nathan Shepherd. After Bradley Bozeman became the football field’s version of Batman — dispensing vigilante justice by pinning New Orleans Saints defensive lineman Nathan Shepherd to the turf after a dangerous takedown of quarterback Justin Herbert last Sunday — the Chargers center’s wife, Nikki, drove home from SoFi Stadium hoping the reaction simply would stay in the family’s favor. After the Chargers used Bozeman’s viral moment to share information about the Bradley and Nikki Bozeman Foundation on social media, more than 150 fans donated to the charity’s efforts to address food insecurity and combat bullying. Bozeman told Nikki he saw Shepherd glance toward Herbert’s right ankle, which the quarterback injured during Week 2, before continuing to twist Herbert’s leg while pulling him to the ground.
