The headline says it all. The game’s been postponed
24-year-old Damar Hamlin received CPR for 9 minutes until being carted off the field by ambulance. He’s in a Cinncinatti hospital in critical condition.

We still don’t know anything other than The Bengals’ coach Zac Wilson asked Sean McDermott how his players were. It looks like Sean and Zac talked to someone in the NFL office and postponed the game.
Damar collapsed after tackling tee Higgins in the first quarter of the pivotal Bills/Bengals MNF game.
I can't say again how much respect I have for #Bills Sean McDermott and #Bengals Zac Taylor. How much care they have for all their players. 💙🧡
They got together and got their teams in the locker room and gave the #NFL time to suspend the game.

The tackle was a regular football play. Damar stumbled after the hit and collapsed a second later.
The video isn’t graphic, but it’s sensitive. FYI
Hamlin collapsed after making this tackle. He was down for 9 minutes and Bills Doctors administered CPR. Buf bench is a mess. Just brutal. pic.twitter.com/0Zgqjna2Mw

His best friend and marketing rep said he’s been intubated and is sleeping. His vitals are normal, and Stefon Diggs just bullied his way into the Emergency Room to be with his teammate.
Update on Damar:
His vitals are back to normal and they have put him to sleep to put a breathing tube down his throat. They are currently running tests.
We will provide updates as we have them.

There’s been an outpouring of support. Over $800 k has been donated tonight in the last 30 minutes. Damar started this charity initiative two years ago to get toys to kids in Buffalo’s poorest neighborhoods. If you feel like donating, hit Ryan’s tweet below.
This is a foundation that Damar Hamlin created to support something he is passionate about. Would be nice along with prayers, if you are able, to give what you can and show it some love. #BillsMafia #Hamlin

Damar Hamlin's most recent post on Instagram is about his 3rd annual toy drive.
The original goal for the drive was $2,500. They have raised around $800,000 in the last few hours alone. 🙏❤️

No one cares about the game tonight. Thoughts and prayers to Damar Hamlin and the entire Buffalo Bills organization. This is brutal and had to have been traumatizing to witness. This is bigger than a game; maybe someone could mention that to Skip Bayless.
