The 24-year-old Damar Hamlin had a cardiac arrest in the middle of the Bills-Bengals matchup after he tackled wide receiver Tee Higgins in the first quarter. At first, Hamlin got up quickly after colliding with Higgins but then collapsed to the ground.
Medics were called to the field at once and started CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) as the safety was unable to breathe on his own. The entire Paul Brown Stadium watched as the medical professionals were pounding on Hamlin’s chest, trying to revive him. This broke everyone as players and fans cried for the well-being of Damar Hamlin.
