Players from both the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals were reduced to tears following Damar Hamlin's on-field cardiac arrest during their NFL clash on Monday night.
The Bills confirmed in the early hours of Tuesday morning that safety Hamlin remained in a critical condition at University of Cincinnati Academic Health Center. The 24-year-old was transported via ambulance to the site after requiring CPR and defibrillation on-field following a tackle on Bengals receiver Tee Higgins.
Many of Hamlin's Bills team-mates were sent into shock by the incident, including quarterback Josh Allen, who embraced Bengals counterpart Joe Burrow as the two teams came together. Fellow defensive backs Siran Neal and Tre'Davious White appeared particularly distressed at seeing their comrade lay motionless at Paycor Stadium, burying their heads in their hands and wiping tears away with their jerseys.
