Buffalo's game against Cincinnati was suspended for the night after Hamlin collapsed on the field and was given cardiopulmonary help before being taken to a hospital.
The game was stopped just over an hour after the injury occurred. It wasn't clear when or if the teams would come back.
We are thinking about the Buffalo Bills. The league will give more information as it becomes available. The game is being postponed because of constant communication between the NFL and the players association.
Hamlin collided with a receiver after a completion in a tackle that looked violent. He got to his feet, appeared to adjust his face mask with his right hand, and then fell backwards about three seconds after.
The team and independent medical personnel treated Hamlin on the field. The players from both teams were shocked.
The ambulance was on the field four minutes after Hamlin collapsed. Both quarterbacks embraced.
The Bills gathered in prayer when Hamlin was taken off the field after collapsing. He was taken to the medical center. The game was stopped five minutes after the ambulance left the field.
Hamlin's uniform was taken off and he appeared to be receiving cardiopulmonary assistance. Hamlin was also given oxygen, according to a report by the sports network.
Troy Aikman said that nobody has been through this before. I have never seen something like that before.
The teams vying for the top seed in the playoffs are playing a game. The Cincinnati team entered the game with a one game lead over Baltimore.
The aftermath of the injury was similar to when Bills tight end Kevin Everett lay motionless on the field after making a tackle on the second-half opening kick in Buffalo's 2007 season opener against the Denver Broncos.
Initially, he was partially paralyzed from the neck down.
Hamlin spent five years at Pitt and played in 48 games over that time. He was voted a team captain and was selected to play in the Senior Bowl.
He was drafted in the sixth round by the Bills in 2021. He played in 14 games as a rookies and became a starter this year when he was injured.
Hamlin had 92 tackles, including 63 solo tackles, and 1 1/2 sacks entering the game.
amar Hamlin is the best of us, that's what the Pitt football account said. Hamlin's college jersey number is mentioned in the tweet. I'm praying for you.
That's right.
