MNF: Bills vs. Bengals *game suspended* - prayers for Damar Hamlin

Commotio cordis …. That’s what this looks like

[LinvilleGorge]

Just postpone the game. This is ridiculous. You can't ask these guys to keep playing after that.

[t96]

I don't have sound on this game, did they cancel it? saw the hit, so difficult to watch him fall over like that and scary as hell. hope like hell he pulls through

[MillionDollarCam]

No way in hell you continue this game, if they do, then fug the money hungry NFL.

If they don’t cancel it there will be crazy blowback for not doing it. 

Good point.

Agreed, I saw it happen first hand in HS a long time ago and the player died, unfortunately back then, defibrillators weren’t kept at HS venues.

That Reggie Lewis death really shook me up as a kid. 

I was watching that Hornets game when he collapsed. Sad they didn’t catch his heart condition.

As bad as it sounds I’ve always figured it was only a matter of time before we saw a death in an NFL game. I hope this isn’t the time but these guys are so big and fast it almost seems inevitable.

Me too. I expect it at some point. I hope it isn’t today.

I remember hearing a story from decades ago where a HS player died instantly on the field, and the medics pretended to do CPR etc because they didn’t  want the crowd to know they saw someone die.

Always wondered what the NFL would do.

IF this young man died, call the game a tie and cancel it. This is so sad

Im afraid thats exactly what happened here

This is bigger than the game. Praying for this young man.

The fact there is zero updates on the guy is troubling. Usually they’d say how the player is doing by now.
