Was watching the Bills vs Bengals game and a player collapsed on the field, they brought the ambulance out and were performing CPR on him. Game has been postponed
only thing that matters for sure. But shocked the nfl bought in to it.The player suffered a heart attack after the hit. According to WLWT tv out of Cincinnati, CPR was performed for several minutes and a defibulator was use as well. He was transported to UC trauma center near the stadium. Yes, the game was suspended for about 55 minutes and then postponed to a later date. The ONLY THING THAT MATTERED LAST NIGHT WAS THE LIFE AND DEATH SITUATION INVOLVING THIS YOUNG MAN, HIS FAMILY, PLAYERS AND COACHES ON BOTH TEAMS!
I’ve actually seen it before. When I was in elementary school, one of our HS baseball players was struck in the chest with a baseball. I can’t recall if it was a batter ball or if it was thrown. Sadly, he died on the field. One of our members on here went to the same HS and is a few years older than me. Maybe he can recall it better. @Secondand26 you remember this don’t you?Wow...never heard anything like this..seen players injured ...knocked cold...serious hurts...and taken away and game resumed...eventually...
But....game postponed.....once started....never ever heard of such...
Lots of expenses....already paid out...for broadcasting..fans...merchants...
Alot less important but still...

Things I never thought would be seen on ESPN.
IIRC, similar types of things happened a few times in a few years around the country in various sports and that was why there became such a push to have that stuff on hand at games.Yes I do. Hit in chest with a pitch, trotted to 1st base & then dropped. Unfortunately, they did not have the medical-ready capabilities that we have today or he may have been saved.
I thought of this exact incident last night while watching the game. What a tragedy.
His brother and my older brother played football and graduated together.
Yes, but that was 1971! Back then players plays with all kind of injuries. Come off the field get a shot to numb the pain and go back in.
He had a cardiac arrest, just like Hamlin.Yes, but that was 1971! Back then players plays with all kind of injuries. Come off the field get a shot to numb the pain and go back in.
