This is an unprecedented situation for the NFL, as we have never seen something unfold like what transpired on the field in Cincinnati tonight.
During the highly anticipated Monday Night Football contest between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals, Bills safety Damar Hamlin took a hard hit from Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins, and after getting to his feet, he immediately collapsed to the ground.
Medics administered CPR on the field and Hamlin had to be intubated and rushed to a local hospital. He was said to have a pulse, but was not breathing on his own at the time.
The NFL made the right call by deciding to postpone the game. And shortly after the announcement, the league released the following statement.
The NFL is expected to make a big decision on when they’ll resume this game, if they resume it at all. Much of that will likely depend on the condition of Damar Hamlin.
