NFL Fans Praying for Buffalo Bills Safety Damar Hamlin
UPDATE: tonight's game between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals has been postponed, as the NFL has decided to suspend the game tonight in light of the injury to Bills safety Damar Hamlin.
Hamlin is in critical condition, being treated at a local hospital.
Original:
The Buffalo Bills are playing a football game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football, with the game in the first quarter, but nobody at the moment cares about the outcome of this game.
The health of Bills safety Damar Hamlin is what matters.
Hamlin was injured after tackling Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins on a first-down catch.
Hamlin got up after the play but then collapsed to the field in what is only described as one of the scariest things we have ever seen on an NFL field.
Hamlin was looked at by medical personnel for almost 20 minutes, and they administered CPR to Hamlin on the field, before loading him into the ambulance.
The game has been suspended. There is no indication of whether or not this game will continue tonight, as we wait for an update on Hamlin's status.
We are thinking and praying for Hamlin and his family. This is much bigger than football. The game does not matter.
We will update this post as more information is known.
