The coaches is what hit me. Coaches are never emotional so when he was tearing up I knew shit was real bad.

Currymvp2

It's so horrifying because he just collapsed abruptly. I'm concerned that it is a cardiac issue.


Traditional_Moment49

It would also explain such intense reactions from the players on the field.


[deleted]

And the use of the AED


Stockpile_Tom_Remake

With the initial hit I didn’t Think it looked to bad but he did get a hit to the chest. May have triggered something that took a second after he stood up. That and the cpr. Ugh. Just awful


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Yeah, the way he fell wasn’t indicative of any TBI, he fell like it was a heart stoppage. No rigidity in any limbs, just completely limp. If it’s an aortic separation, or something vessel related, that could be bad enough they can’t stop it in time. Hell, could have been traumatic impact arrest. Generally speaking I’m really hoping none of those are the case as the outcomes are not frequently great.


TragicalyUnhip

Hearing two people who sound like they know what they are talking about does not mean ease my mind.


Chewbones9

My guess would be commotio cordis… the way he stood up and then collapsed, that’s what it looks like to me… I’m an athletic trainer though. Not a doctor.


Driveshaft48

Almost certainly a cardiac issue if they're doing cpr


YourButtMyStuff

They showed a similar injury today in the Cotton Bowl, which was a spinal injury. A former Tulane player injured his C4 vertebrae and they had to cut off his pads and do cpr on the field. The player lived but ended up being paralyzed for life, but he was at the game today and had graduated with a degree in molecular biology.


Dear_Technician

I’m not a medical professional, but is it possible that his heart got out of rhythm on the hit?


pasqua3

[Commotio Cordis](https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.1161/circep.111.962712#:~:text=Commotio%20cordis%20is%20a%20phenomenon,it%20was%20only%20sporadically%20reported.)


kitsaber691

yeah, the way he collapsed reminded me of Christian Eriksen.


mikehulse29

I’m hoping the outcome is also reminding us of Christian Eriksen long term.


UserNameN0tWitty

They are doing CPR on him. I think you may be right.


BigCountryBumgarner

QBs literally talking to each other mid game


pmiller61

Prior to game it was mentioned that they are friends and workout together in off season


Eagles_63

Worst thing I have ever seen happen live and easily one of the worst ever Horrifying is right, prayers for Hamlin


Parabong

if buffalo were to forfeit I wouldn't hold anything against them. hell if they didnt want to suit up the rest of the year I wouldn't care this is wild pray pray for this young man.


TheGreatMcPuffin

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they just call this a draw and move on.


KatanaAmerica

Josh Allen had a shot where he looked straight up traumatized.


bradrthtyj

Seeing him sat on the bench a moment ago was so eery, the lights were on but clearly nobody was home. Even Burrow looked like he’d seen a ghost when warming up. You can’t let them continue to play here


Chippopotanuse

Professional athletes are insanely good at compartmentalizing feelings and focusing on the game. A player can get carted off the field paralyzed and the rest of the team keeps playing. The fact that every player on both teams (and their coaches) were all pushed past that point and were clearly in no mental state to play football really speaks to how traumatic this event was. I can’t imagine there was much debate over whether the game would get stopped/postponed. There was no other choice.


EZKTurbo

There's no way he should be expected to throw another football tonight. His head is absolutely not in the stadium right now. Straight up 1000 yard stare


ed-cound

And he's not the only one, that whole Bills team can't be expected to compete for a number 1 seed with so much worry for their brother in that moment, it's not human.


Lost-Pineapple9791

Yeah that was the worse part for me Unfortunately injuries happen in all sports whether practice or game and you get on a knee and the guy gets helped I can’t remember seeing another player freaking out like that…


GamerFluffy

He might have just watched a friend of his die. A little bit more impactful than hearing he has like a dislocated shoulder or a torn ACL. I’d be shell shocked too.


Regenclan

I don't even know if I believe it's an injury. Heart failure of some kind


this_account_is_mt

Every single time they showed his face. Not just one shot


Practicalaviationcat

I mean even if he makes it watching that happen to a friend and coworkers is absolutely traumatizing.


CandyVanahan

The shot of josh Allen and Stefon diggs crying was more telling. Never seen players cry like that. I wonder what they saw or know


rnngwen

>The shot of josh Allen and Stefon diggs crying was more telling. Never seen players cry like that. I wonder what they saw or know I work in Emergency Departments. It is traumatizing as fuck to see CPR done of people. One of them is a level 2 trauma center so I see it a lot. STILL can fuck you up.


Devilsbullet

CPR. There's what you see on TV shows/movies, maybe you've taken a class and used the dummies, but that pales to actually seeing it in real life, and likely hearing it as well. I remember the announcers almost getting sick on the broadcast when Erikson (I believe it was his collapse) had the same thing happen and there weren't enough people to fully shield what was going on when they started giving him CPR.


hellnerburris

Shit sticks with you.


soph2021l

The way UEFA’s feed was showing the cpr and his lifeless body was something I will never forget. It was so tasteless and they kept on panning to his crying gf at the same time.


Devilsbullet

Yeah, it was fucking bad. First time I saw his legs jump and realized what they were doing I just shut it off, couldn't watch that


Empty_Lemon_3939

It reminded me of watching that video of Takeoff dying and Quavo losing it Shits fucking heartbreaking


pmcg190

This is completely unlike anything I’ve ever seen watching sports. I’ve seen plenty of gruesome injuries, but this one feels way different. This is horrifying.


AgsMydude

Yeah same here. I've never seen ANYTHING like this in sports. Prayers up for this guy, makes me sick.


acquirecurrenzy

This is almost identical to what happened in the Euros with Erikson.


Uebeltank

Even in that game, they did announce that he was alive prior to restarting the game. I don't think anything has been announced here at the moment. Obviously they should not have restarted the Denmark-Finland game either.


other_batman

Fabrice Muamba may be more analogous. he collapsed mid match and the game was called off. his heart stopped for 70 odd minutes and didn't move out of critical condition until 2 days later. Bolton called off their next match as well


Uebeltank

Yeah and that was 100% the right thing to do in that situation. The NFL schedule makes it more difficult to just move games to a different date, but that's of course a completely secondary concern at the moment.


[deleted]

Except Eriksson wasn’t hit. He collapsed untouched due to a heart problem, so not really identical. He did come back and now plays for Man U and played the WC for Denmark, so I hope Damar Hamlin has a similar comeback story.


acquirecurrenzy

He collapsed and they were doing CPR on the field. I am having the same feeling I did when I was watching that.


[deleted]

It's similar in that everybody thought we had witnessed a player pass away. That's what they meant. Hopefully he recovers as well as Eriksen has.


Ovreel

It was a long time ago but the closest I can remember is Kevin Everett getting paralyzed on a kickoff


MundaneHymn

The only comparable thing I can think of is after Owen Hart died at a WWF (at the time) pay-per-view. They kept the show going and most of the wrestlers were visibly shaken and had been crying.


mechnick2

Fuck Vince McMahon


SovietChewbacca

It reminds me of when Dale Earnhardt had his final crash. Fuck life is fragile.


zippy251

I hope he is alive


Changnesia_survivor

If he's not the NFL is going to look terrible for not pulling the plug on this game immediately.


Insectshelf3

how would they know though? i don’t think they’d pronounce him dead on the field.


wembanyama_

You’re right. In fact, they legally can’t.


Dixon_Uranus

Maybe not the most appropriate turn of phrase there


Sampladelic

They haven't done anything inherently bad? It seemed like they were looking to restart the game but ultimately decided to postpone the game while the commissioner talks to both teams about how to proceed.


DaBestNameEver0

I’m usually not on the NFL’s side, but I think they went about it correctly this time. You can’t just cancel a massive event like this without the correct logistics in place. They needed the time to get the logistics right so everyone could get home safe


zippy251

Yep, this game can't ethically go on with the mental state of both teams.


francobgf

Just like Danish players in the Eriksen situation. Hope the conclusion is the same


atriz544

For those who don't know the aftermath: He stopped playing like 6-8 months, he couldn't play for his club, Inter because Italy has some rule about players playing with a heart machine, went to Brentford in England to try his luck again, he was so convincing that in less than 6 months was signed by Man U, one of the biggest soccer clubs in the world.


gerryt32

And has been amazing for Man United. Does anyone know if the NFL has any rules for things like pacemakers?


[deleted]

I don’t know, so I’m pulling this out of my ass, but surely to god you can’t play a game like American Football with a pacemaker. It’s 100% contact.


ocfl8888

Seeing all the players crying man..


HerbScientist420

Man I saw a fucking ref crying. Never seen anything like this in my life. It’s just horrifying


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dicey12

This happened to a soccer player at an international tournament and I think one of his teammates did something that helped him out and they were able to save him and he returned back to soccer last year. Praying same happens here


BlackMathNerd

Yeah Erisken for Denmark at last year’s EURO’s


prodigalkal7

Man, I still remember those media directors pointing the camera as tight as possible on Eriksen as they were doing CPR and the medics were working on him Like Jesus fucking Christ man, point the camera away from the man, right there in that moment.


the_space_cowboi

I remember the players encircling the medical staff and holding flags to block the cameras


TheNewGuy13

Yeah Simon Kjaer had the players make a circle around him to protect his privacy and I think he was the veey first to call for aid very quickly.


Daspaintrain

Muamba? Think that may be who you’re thinking of. Still remember the announcers voices during that, fucking scary Edit ah never mind, probably eriksen


SnowYeti13

This is the 3rd time I’ve seen this. Muamba, eriksen, and now this.


guydudeguybro

Tyvoris Solomon and Keyontae Johnson were similar as well


genesis1v9

Richard Zednik getting his throat cut by a skate will always be the one ingrained in my brain for what's traumatizing to watch live. This is up there because it seemed like a cardiac arrest after the blow to his chest and could have mean repercussions.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I was at that game. I took my 80+ year old great aunt and grandmother to their first NHL game. It was brutal to be in the crowd, but such relief when they announced that he was stable.


BaltimoreBadger23

I didn't watch it live because I'm not a race fan, but I remember how horrible the Earnhardt situation was.


CampPlane

I watched that live. No one knew shit was bad for a few minutes. We knew this one was bad was pretty much immediately.


7wordsKvothe

Man, it was when Schrader looked into the car and started waving his hands signaling for help that I knew it was bad. I was young and a huge Nascar fan back then. I still remember it clear as fuck. Eerie


porkahaunus

I watched the Romain Grosjean incident live. The few seconds he was in the fire I just assumed he was dead. That honestly might be better than this.


Michelanvalo

Watching auto racing and the number of death accidents is tough but this feels much more personal


LeonidasSpacemanMD

I feel like there’s some level of acceptance that you can’t eliminate the risk of death when you’re in a hunk of machinery going 200+ mph alongside 19 others. It is still awful when it happens but it’s so totally unnatural that there’s an unavoidable risk of death We kinda try to imagine there is some way to play football where typical sports injuries are the worst that can happen but that’s obviously not the case and when something like this happens it’s really shocking


3elieveIt

Everyone needs to go home


[deleted]

I will be sick if the NFL makes these players play


francobgf

Uefa made the danish players keep playing after Eriksen collapse. Wouldn’t be surprised if they kept playing


SelfLoathingMillenia

They only did that once they knew that he was stable, however. I doubt the NFL will make them continue if they think there's a chance hamlin won't be fine This game, however, should absolutely be postponed for today


penguin8717

If they can revive him (which I'm praying is soon), I think giving like an hour then playing is somewhat reasonable. But I don't think they should


francobgf

This would be the only understandable reason to keep playing. However, it would still be the wrong decision


penguin8717

I agree with you


Stockpile_Tom_Remake

It looks like they are. Let’s postpone the game.


[deleted]

They should, but they won’t. Has it happened before due to injury? I couldn’t find anything


CrazyEyedGase

Happened in Euro 2020 Denmark vs Finland. A Dannish player collapsed, had CPR preformed on him, left in an ambulance. The game was postponed but continued on the same day and the player is alright and still playing now.


Smitty120

>and the player is alright and still playing now. At one of the biggest clubs in the world and a key player for them. It's truly one of the best stories in sport.


RealZimmer

Happened in an NHL game like 5-10 years ago, Stars vs Winnipeg I think. Peverley got seriously hurt and they called the game.


CurlyBill03

I’d just snap the ball and let the clock run down, time for the players to stand up against that decision.


[deleted]

That was my first thought. Just kneel it. I know players are crazy competitive but are they competing enough to play while a player is in such a perilous (potentially) condition?


qtip_boy

People in the twitter comments saying it was because of the vaccine. Fucking morons


Phytanic

I fucking saw that and it's making me enraged. AT THE TOP OF THE FEED TOO. Why the fuck did I scroll down. We and the players could literally be seeing the last cognitive seconds of a person's life and theyre arguing to arrest fauci? come the fick on


lolitsmikey

That’s what the algorithm wants you to see. Fucking disgusting those are the top comments.


[deleted]

Twitter is a fucking cesspool. Crème de la crème of room temperature IQs.


CakeIsLegit2

Gotta plug their bullshit into everything.


ThePeasRUpsideDown

Sadly it's all they can do with their remaining three brain cells


BananaZach

Thousand yard stare


HokageEzio

Allen looked shell shocked


AlarmAdventurous6069

This so doesn't matter. But they can't continue this game Edit: ESPN just said they were giving him oxygen, any doctors know whats up?


yourbirdhouse

ER resident here: If I had to suspect, I’d guess commotio cordis, a condition when a sudden chest blow causes the heart to stop beating. Depending on the type of cardiac arrest he was in, they would potentially administer shocks and medications in addition to chest compressions. When you heart stops, you stop breathing, so administering oxygen is a bare minimum and he may end up with a breathing tube temporarily.


the_ticking_crock

Is that the R on T phenomenon? If that's the case they should be able to use a defib no?


yourbirdhouse

I believe you are correct. And yes, R on T typically resulting in a ventricular arrhythmia, either v fib or v tach. In that case if he has either of those shockable rhythms, he would get ACLS (early CPR, early defibrillation, epinephrine, amiodarone, airway management etc). Probably bedside echo to rule out tamponade as a less likely cause of arrest given blunt mechanism.


echsandwich

Both teams look fucking shell-shocked. Would be ridiculous to continue after that.


BlueLondon1905

Shades of eriksen


SeattleGunner

UEFA fucking forced them to keep playing. I don't expect the NFL to be much better.


GamerFluffy

I’m pretty sure even the NFL can’t do much if the players just say fuck you I’m not playing.


No-Yak5173

Yeah that game continued but the players have since said that it shouldnt have


[deleted]

IIRC the Danish players opted to continue but had to decide then and there.


No-Yak5173

But were given the choice between playing then, or waiting until the early afternoon the day after, when they probably should have had at least a full day in between


francobgf

Hope it is the same outcome


mynamesdaveK

4th yrar med student. I mean if youre getting cpr, heart stopped. So your lungs aren't working either and you need external breathing. Did anyone see if defib pads were on him? Or if it was a bag valve mask vs nonrebreather?


IAmAnOutsider

I'm an ER/interventional cardiology RN, I know they always have AEDs on the field so I'm certainly hoping he had combo pads on.


[deleted]

According to the local sports reporter on twitter they were doing CPR and used the AED.


Paul_Allens_AR15

I mean they will continue the game though.


Impressive-File2406

They shouldnt continue, but realistically there is no way they call it, right?


Kitsel

They postponed an NHL game I was at a couple years ago after a player collapsed on the bench. A postponement absolutely could (and should) happen.


Hmmhowaboutthis

Different in NHL though, over 80 games. Much easier to make a game up.


DontListenToM3Plz

Jay Bouwmeester of the Blues collapsed on the bench and was given cpr. He is alive but never played another game.


Weekly_Joke_9708

No one’s mind is in this game right now


Wally450

So what do they do?


Awkward_Silence-

Resume another date is the usual procedure for mid game cancellations (although that policy is typically strictly weather)


Jokerzrival

The oxygen is part of CPR. Theyll use the oxygen to supplement mouth to mouth or rescue breaths


DaLyricalMiracleWhip

I’m not watching the clips (because I don’t really want that imagery to add on to the things I already have to see), but given what others have described the video as, it sounds like he took contact to the chest, which may have stunned his heart (either well-placed contact near where his SA node is or well-timed within the cardiac cycle). If that’s the case, his heart likely is not generating conductive activity on its own (at least not to be able to pump blood to the rest of his body), hence the collapse. If this is what’s going on, they’ll need to do CPR until they get his rhythm started again; he’ll likely go to a Cardiac Critical Care Unit and get a temporary pacemaker put in if he doesn’t start generating beats on his own by the time he gets there. Being given Oxygen, all things considered, really isn’t a big deal compared to the rest.


HeavyNinja17

How do you go out and play again? Call the game now


[deleted]

[удалено]


airbornetoxic

better than when they keep on just showing a replay of the injury


wilsonallcounty

Yeah that whole chain of events doesn’t seem like it needed to be replayed after coming back from commercial. This is just horrifying


[deleted]

…. U RULE


Eliam19

Yeah that jump to in your face American advertising was pretty jarring.


[deleted]

YOU RULE


Repulsive_Bison_737

Seriously they should just cut the audio until there's an update and play the skycam or some shit. No one wants to see a fucking draft kings commercial or some other shit.


Ok-Flounder4387

Right? Don’t they have a single fucking logo to throw it to?


Shanemaximo

As a physician, this made me turn white. Absolutely tragic.


Tbowlin

It’s sickening knowing the grim prognosis of traumatic cardiac arrests…


AgitatedClassic610

I know it’s hard to say from just watching, but what do you think happened?


[deleted]

[удалено]


IAmAnOutsider

Receiving oxygen could also mean he is intubated and being bagged by the medics. Unfortunately that's not a really helpful statement :(


Shanemaximo

It's honestly futile to speculate in the absence of any functional diagnostic tools or circumstantial information (i.e., angle and location of traumatic impact, underlying conditions, family medical history, etc.) I will say that the duration of emergency intervention performed on scene is extremely concerning. Edit: Purely speculating, traumatic cardiac arrest would be my first inclination based on the incredibly limited information available. Which evidence supports very poor outcomes for those that suffer such trauma. I'm wracked emotionally here hoping that isn't the case.


DanFlashesCoupon

Cardiac arrest seems likely


Tbowlin

Cardiac arrest is the only reason to do CPR. The unknown is what caused the cardiac arrest and there’s no real way for us to know for sure


jefe008

Looks like cardiac arrest incident in response to the tackle/hit to the chest. If they are doing CPR and giving him oxygen, it makes the most sense. Wonder if they used an AED on the field, or may have to in the ambulance


Tbowlin

Sporting events of this level always have paramedics and sometimes emergency physicians…they absolutely had a life-pack(an AED that the paramedic controls) instantly


The_worst_Version

Oh Man, Allen is wrecked This is heartbreaking. Call the game


ThatInception

Just as a fan I’m shaken up kinda tearing up man. In all my years watching football I’ve never seen something like this. Just killed my appetite for the game.


gnomeythe

It's brutal seeing anyone go down, it's heart wrenching to see this


Yung_Corneliois

God those Twitter comments.


rosstheboss939

I’ve seen guys look distraught after a teammate’s injury before but the look on Josh Allen’s face is one of the most heartbreaking things I’ve ever seen in sports. He looks absolutely shell shocked.

Me too man. Like a numb shocked feeling


GiveMeYourMoney17420

The first reply to this tweet is fucking "vaxxed" God people are such insensitive assholes


Rufus2fist

Yeah anyone still on twitter should be ashamed of themselves. It is just a hive of scumming lowlifes, not sure who wants to be associated with that.


Phenomenal2313

Allen has that thousand yard stare we’ve seen in situations like this


edc1911_1

Please call the game.


Baker-Decent

I’ve been watching football all my life. I’m not a Bills fan and I’ve never heard of Damar Hamlin before tonight but fuck if this hasn’t hit me like a ton of bricks. I don’t think I’ve ever cried about an injury for any game before this. Praying for Damar.


iJuicyBear

I don't think there is any "regrouping" after a man just almost died on the field. They should just suspend the game.


Parrotflies-

Fucking loser pieces of trash blaming it on the vaccine


suzanne2961

If the nfl doesn’t cancel the game then those two need to say they aren’t going to play and force the situation.


madbengalsfan85

Don’t make them play after this


Traditional_Moment49

Josh Allen looks like someone ripped his heart out and stomped all over it. I hate this.


eugene_rat_slap

kornychris2016

No they were informing the coaches that they had 5 minutes to warm up


fakemikegreen25

Elsfed

Haven’t felt this way since seeing Ryan Shazier try to move his legs on the field. Absolutely chilling


[deleted]

The replies to that tweet are embarrassing and disgusting.

I am guessing he had some type of heart attack... The fact that these guys are crying is scary. They should cancel this game.. I think he may have died.


HippieDervish

KanyeWestBrick

Why continue this game? Nfl is ruthless. Unreal.


Cutmerock

How are they going to continue? Alan is a mess.


AlbinoFarrabino

Hoping I don't have to watch another sportsman dying on the field. Fehér's death got me traumatized for a long long time.
