Bills defender Damar Hamlin collapsed after a defensive action midway through the first quarter during Monday’s game (local time) and required CPR on the field before being rushed to a hospital. The football league said Hamlin’s health was “critical”. The game was stopped when Cincinnati was 7-3.
“Hamlin received immediate medical attention on the field from the team, independent doctors and paramedics. He was then rushed to a local hospital and is in critical condition. Our thoughts are with Damar and the Buffalo Bills. More information to come When we have it, we will share it,” NFL boss Roger Goodell said in a statement.
Hamlin’s agent Ira Turner said: “We do not have an update (on his condition) at this time. Keep the player’s family in your prayers.”
After Hamlin was transported off the field by an ambulance, players from the Bills gathered and knelt on the ground together in a circle. The Bills head coach Sean McDermott, opposite number Zac Taylor and the referees spoke afterwards and it was decided to stop the game for the time being. 90 minutes after the start of the game, the NFL then announced that the game would be abandoned. It was not initially clear when and in what form it should be continued.
