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. another athlete said something about maybe the hit to the chest may have stopped his heart. Hopefully he will be okay. That is what I thought.

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. I agree 100%. The playoffs don't matter right now and I'm sure the players would agree. I also think they may be trying to figure out refunds for tickets and the like. Which does not matter to me or the players or people in general, but it may be something the league/team has to look into. Honestly, I'm surprised they haven't already canceled the game. It cannot be safe to ask players to play without their head in the game.

His neck snapped back pretty harsh with the hit. Been praying for him, his team, the staff, the medical staff, his family. This is just so sad and scary.

I don’t think anybody at this point would be concerned about what they pay to get into the game. And he did get hit in the chest.

It was temporarily suspended when both teams went to their locker rooms. Haven't heard an update from that yet.

Goddell is the one who has to decide to postpone. It’s ridiculous that it has taken him this long to call the game.

Looks like they are finally calling it. Not officially, but done

Since they are gathering all the Bill's equipment, the game is over. Just waiting for the official word. So sad for this young man and his family.

I wonder if the coaches hadn't come together, would they really have had them start after a 5 minute break as was first announced?

Dang. I’m not a football fan but I heard DH say oh shit in the other room when it happened. Thoughts for the player and his family.

This is heartbreaking! That poor young man. I pray, pray, pray he is able to recover from this.
There is the cutest twitter video of him hugging his family before the game. Now, it breaks my heart. Please God, be with him and his fellow players, coaches and family. 🙏🏻

So sad! My daughter was on the Pitt Dance team so we went to all of his games. They had a class together and graduated the same year. She is absolutely devestated. All the athletes were a close knit group. His parents were at all the games proudly wearing his jersey. I can't imagine what they are going through.

maryland. My daughter also knew him a little at Pitt. They lived in the same dorm for a year. So scary and sad.

This is just devastating. Some reports that he had a pulse but wasn't breathing on his own on the field.

Yes we are watching. I’ve never seen anything like it. My first thought was his poor mom or wife. I’m glad to hear she was there tonight and able to ride to the hospital with him. Praying he’s ok.

I really hope he’s okay. And I feel for the young man that hit him. He did absolutely nothing wrong but I bet he’s still having a very hard time right now.

It was really sad to watch all of the players on the field. There were tears aplenty. My prayers are w/this young man and his family. His mother rode in the ambulance w/him. What a deeply sad game.

I can't imagine how any of them could have continued play. My heart is breaking for his teammates and I pray he will pull through.

I checked in on my kid less than 20 miles away after. I have tears. My boys played varsity sports and got injured, nothing major and the gut wrenching feeling when they were injured on the field/court was horrible and they weren't this. I cannot imagine being his mom right now. Not only do my thoughts and prayers go for his health, they go to his mom and family.
