Damar Hamlin Collapses During Buffalo Bills Game
During last night’s Buffalo Bills vs. Cincinnati Bengals game, Bills’ safety Damar Hamlin collapsed after getting hit by another player. The initial contact between the two players appeared to be pretty standard and Hamlin got back up right after it happened. Moments later, he collapsed and seemed unresponsive. He was given emergency CPR before being taken away in an ambulance. The game was postponed after a while as everyone, especially Hamlin’s team, was shaken up. It was announced that he was in critical condition once he got to the hospital. News has been released since then that he had gone into cardiac arrest while on the field. He continues to receive treatment in the hospital.
Hamlin’s family released a statement saying, “On behalf of our family, we want to express our sincere gratitude for the love and support shown to Damar during this challenging time. Your generosity and compassion mean the world to us. Please keep Damar in your prayers.” Our love goes out to Hamlin and his family.
