Pittsburgh Steelers head coach in emotional message to Damar Hamlin after cardiac arrest

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin appeared to hold back tears as he gave an emotional message of support to Damar Hamlin, with the Buffalo Bills star still in a critical condition in hospital. Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest on Monday Night Football against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Hamlin, 24, collapsed after making a routine tackle on Tee Higgins, with paramedics immediately rushing onto the field. After six minutes of CPR and the use of a defibrillator to restart his heart, he was taken to hospital. He remains in a critical condition.

Fans, players and coaches from around the NFL have sent messages of support to the Bills' safety, and a fundraiser he set up for underprivileged children has raised more than $4.2million - having had a target of just $2,500.
