Josh Allen & NFL Players React to Damar Hamlin’s Cardiac Arrest

The Bills' Monday night game against the Bengals came to a standstill when Damar Hamlin collapsed suddenly on the field after taking an open field tack from Bengal's wide receiver Tee Higgins. At the time, it was unknown if the tackle was the source of the collapse.

At 11:48 p.m. yesterday, January 2, the Bills Mafia's official Twitter page released an update on Hamlin's condition. According to the Tweet, Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest on the field.

Hamlin received immediate care on the field. CNN reports that Bills team trainers reached Hamlin within 10 seconds of his collapse. Hamlin received CPR on site before an ambulance transported him to the Emergency Room. He has since been transferred to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and is in stable but critical condition.

Indianapolis Colts safety Rodney McLeod Jr. told CNN, "What we saw last night was something that we've never seen before." and noted that injuries for players "are always our deepest fears."
