In the first quarter of Monday Night Football’s matchup between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals, we were given a sobering reminder of how brutal this game can be.
Bills safety Damar Hamlin suddenly collapsed after making a tackle and went into cardiac arrest. He was given CPR right there on the field before being taken away by an ambulance.
While his teammates watched the scene unfold before their eyes, many of us did too via the broadcast. Several Detroit Lions players posted their thoughts and well wishes on Twitter in support of Hamlin.
Prayers up for Damar Hamlin… scary sight 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
