NFL issues Buffalo Bills vs Cincinnati Bengals update after Damar Hamlin cardiac arrest

The NFL has confirmed Monday night's suspended Buffalo Bills vs Cincinnati Bengals game will not be continued this week. The highly-anticipated game was postponed during the first quarter after Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest.

Hamlin made a routine tackle on Bengals player Tee Higgins, but took a heavy blow to the chest in doing so. He was able to get up, but immediately fell back to the floor as his heart went into cardiac arrest.

Paramedics were brought onto the field to care for Hamlin, and worked for six minutes to perform CPR and use a defibrillator to restart his heart. Hamlin was taken to the University of Cincinnati Hospital, where he remains in the intensive care unit in critical condition.
