The NFL made the right call.

A highly anticipated matchup between the Bills and Bengals was temporarily suspended Monday night after Buffalo defensive back Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field. Both teams would be sent back to the locker room.

Tonight's Bills-Bengals game has now been called. Play will not resume, and that's the right call.

All that matters is Damar Hamlin's health and safety.
