Glad it wasn't a ruptured aortic aneurysm.

The AED was there within seconds.

Hopefully they got his heartbeat restored quickly enough to avoid brain damage.

Putting a patient like this under in a coma and lowering their body temp (if they're doing that) has shown to lead to the best outcomes.

Hope we hear good news soon.

Absolutely.

From what I've been reading, if they start the defib process within a couple of minutes, the survival rate is actually pretty high. And it looks like that definitely happened.

I guess the variable would be just how long it took them to get his heart beating again, but it can definitely be survived.

I think a similar thing happened to a soccer player a couple years ago, and he played in the World Cup.

I get that no one wants to say it right now, but this game is massively important to the rest of the AFC as well as player contract incentives.


Careful, I was DV’d heavily for posting the impact of the game earlier.

This board has been an emotional mess tonight. We’ve heard ideas from the NFL cancelling the season to Chiefs forfeiting the bye. People are evaluating the performances of on-air personalities based on how they reacted to an unscripted event.

This has been a night for the ages.

This sounds like exaggeration. Who is legitimately suggesting the NFL should cancel the season? Believe it or not people can actually think for themselves. I didn't listen to any of the media, but postponing tonight's game was the right call, IMO. This was not like witnessing most injuries. Never seen players that shaken up before.

I think they will finish this game somehow. Hopefully we get good news and they can play it this week. Wednesday would seem ideal. I wonder if they could move both the Bengals and Bills week 18 games to MNF?

Emotional mess is right, and for a player they 100% couldn’t pick out of a lineup a day ago. I get being concerned, I get “thoughts and prayers”. What I don’t get is everyone losing their brains and becoming moral police on the internet. I don’t care what on air personality did what after that. I don’t even care what the NFL did. It’s unprecedented you bunch of dipshits.

Imagine if everyone acted this emotional after someone dies at work. The world would shut down.

People are falling over themselves to show how much they care for a freak accident. My god the guys Christmas Toy charity hit over 2 million, on January 2nd. No one is using any part of their brain. It’s just typical knee jerk social media outrage, flailing around trying to look important. It’s pathetic.

Dumb question, but is it harder to administer CPR when a guy is wearing shoulder pads?

So when the game resumes, is the score and time still the same?
Yes, assuming they do resume the game….the score, time, down and distance, and stats would all start at what they were when play was suspended.

Happens all the time in baseball for weather delays. When play resumes, the score, inning, outs, ball-strike count, and baserunners pick up at whatever the situation was when the game went into a delay.

Social Media has produced perhaps the most sanctimonious, self righteous look at me generation in the history of the world.

Many people probably do, it’s just on a much smaller scale. A couple I work with had 2 family members pass within a week or so of each other, so we took up a collection to send them dinner, and the rest went to help with days they couldn’t work (no paid vacation), gas or other meals if they didn’t feel like cooking.

Not everybody works in front of tens of millions of people.

This. Awful injuries and deaths to hard working people every day.

I love how people gripe about how the world is going to shite and people suck (it is and they do for the most part) but also throw a bitch fit when people show their good side by donating millions of dollars to a guy who just almost died on national tv and was trying to do good in the world.

That can’t be true, I was told roger personally called the game officials and demand the game resume in 5 minutes

I mean, they don't even have to die (Hamlin didn't, at least not on the field). But that doesn't make it any less insensitive.

Hell, Lisa Salters was telling SVP that even after Diggs tried to refocus them, many players went back to the bench and were clearly in no emotional state to continue.

It blows my mind that the coaches had to make the decision to suspend play (assuming that is actually how it went down). Obviously the postponement had to have league involvement, but it's still crazy that it took that long to even make that call. Those men were clearly in no mental state to continue that game.

I mean this is something that hasn’t happened to this magnitude to the league before. I’m sure it took some time to get the right people on the phone to make the call. I imagine the refs just went with the “usual protocol” for a lengthy delay. This just wasn’t a usual situation.

Look I like shitting on the league as much as the next guy but I think having some grace given the scope and magnitude of the situation is okay.
