Lawson's teeth were dislodged as he tried to sack Browns quarterback DeShone Kizer, an event that prompted a candid recollection of the experience.

"I got around the edge and I thought I got a sack but they said the ball was going forward," Lawson said to ESPN's Katherine Terrell. "When I was bringing him down, I just see my teeth in the air for like two seconds. I was like 'Holy crap.'"

Lawson's teammates took some delight in his misfortune, chiding him for not wearing a mouth guard.

"He was not wearing a mouthpiece. He won't listen," Bengals linebacker Kevin Minter said.
