Damar Hamlin, playing safety on the Bills’ defense, received a vicious jolt to the chest that stopped Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins from running at full speed. Hamlin, 24, stood up before collapsing, falling backwards, possibly suffering a heart attack.

Rescuers tried to revive him for about twenty minutes on the ground. His teammates, some in tears, prayed on their knees. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow gave a hug to Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen.

Marketing agent son and friends, Jordon Rooney, given on Twitter encouraging news that had not been confirmed by the hospital on Monday evening. According to him, Damar Hamlin was put into an artificial coma and intubated, but his vital signs were “back to normal”.
