https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/football/nfl/bills/2023/01/03/damar-hamlin-injury-buffalo-bills-safety-collapses-after-tackle-bengals-tee-higgins/69771929007/The Buffalo Bills have suffered a lot of injuries to their secondary. Damar Hamlin's was the scariest.
The safety was injured in the first quarter of the Bills game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football.
Hamlin tackled Cincinnati wide receiver Tee Higgins, got to his feet and then crumpled to the ground. A stretcher and ambulance came onto the field as most of the Bills' roster came off the sideline to kneel or stand around Hamlin. First responders administered CPR to Hamlin on the field. Hamlin was given oxygen was he was loaded into an ambulance.
Other Bills plays could be seen crying as Hamlin was tended to by medical personnel. Other players held hands praying.
He fell to the ground at about 8:56 p.m. ESPN cut from the broadcast from the field and went to a studio about 9:08 p.m.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Game is suspended as of 6:19 Pacific Time.
I've never seen this kind of emergency response during a game. This game HAS to change.
