A Bills player got hit, stood up and fell back down. They announced they were doing CPR. Prayers for the player, its unbelievable. Team mates are crying.

It was Darmar Hamlin. He stood up and then went down. It was horrible.

Man, I can't fathom playing after that. Is it possible they'll call the game? I know it determines playoff spot, but damn

This is so so similar to when a good friend broke his next playing rugby in college. It’s beyond awful.

Looks like they just suspended the game for now, not sure if they'll continue playing.
ETA: Prayers for all the players.

So scary. I’m praying for him, his family, teammates and doctors.

Yes, I am watching because I’m a huge bills fan and this is just heartbreaking. They should forfeit the game and go home. Watching those players cry and the coaches this game is not important anymore.

I didn't see the original play, but am watching the aftermath. Lord have Mercy. I definitely think that they need to call the game.

I watched it and was shocked to hear they were doing CPR on the field. Prayers for the young man. Could it be an aneurysm? It was not a bad tackle, and he seemed fine when he got up.

Home-field advantage means nothing. This young man had CPR and AED and is not breathing on his own.

I kind of wonder if it could be something like a ruptured aneurysm. It wasn’t a super hard or unusual tackle/play. So devastating. A family friend plays on the Bills and I can’t imagine what he’s going through right now. I hope he recovers. 🥺

youtu.be/8S6ZQEjvtkMHere is the hit It looks like an average NFL hit but then he stands up and connects with the player next to him. Again it feels minor but you can see he is not steady as he gains his feel and then down he goes. I’m not sure this is an injury due to the hit as much as cardiac related or possible aneurysm.

I saw it and was surprised he stood up and then went right back down, like he passed out. After the Miami QB was injured and now this… I really wonder what effective changes the NFL can do to keep players safe. 😭

Someone on Twitter (for what it's worth) posted a photo of the ambulance waiting on site for his mom. That is either good news or the worse possible news.

We are watching. So terrible. Really hoping he will be ok.
ETA that DS said that there was a baseball player who got hit in the chest and died because the hit stopped his heart. Since that time they changed the catchers gear. I wonder if something like that happened here, but like others also wondered about an aortic aneurism.

Wow, didn't look that bad. It did seem like the other player's helmet hit him high on the chest, right under his face mask. But, it didn't seem that bad. I hope he is ok!!

This young man had CPR and AED and is not breathing on his own. agreed, but I think the league may be trying to figure it all out as there are lots of moving parts. The biggest moving part is that the bills needed to win tonight and a win next week to have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. At this point it doesn’t matter. Forfeit the game and go home. I’m sure that that’s what’s being discussed. There’s no way to reschedule this game and it’s not important.

The commissioner should make the athletes a priority over the game right now. Postpone the game. The life of the athlete is so much more important. The other players’ mental state is so much more important.
I wish him the best.
