Monday Night Football faced an unprecedented situation this week as the Bills-Bengals matchup was postponed after Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field and went into cardiac arrest.
ESPN analyst Booger McFarland told The Athletic that he was eating dinner when he and other network analysts were called back onto the set. He added, “As I’m walking toward the set my only thought was, ‘What exactly do they want us to say?’ That’s all Adam Schefter and I were thinking.”
Hamlin made what appeared to be a routine tackle on Bengals receiver Tee Higgins. Hamlin then got up on his feet, but almost immediately, he collapsed. Medical personnel were able to restore his heartbeat, the Bills later said in a statement, and Hamlin was transported to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
