Looked like a routine tackle. Didn’t see his head hit anything hard.

Reminds me of the Chiefs/Chargers game last year where the Chargers WR (I forgot his name) had a freak injury on the opening drive in the end zone.

This is a strange one also with him standing up for a moment.

It sure looks like it based on player reactions. There’s something very serious here.

I literally saw no one laughing

Yes.

I don’t know if I’ve seen anything this scary on an NFL field. Prayers

This is not cool. I’m sick to my stomach.

I am having serious Hank Gathers flashbacks

Oh shit, on rewatch it looks like the shoulder to sternum hit...hope it didn't injure/stop his heart

You weren't looking hard enough.

This. Some pretty terrifying reactions

Oh man, praying this ends up good

That's so weird. He popped up and then lost consciousness. I don't know what would cause that.

Dude made a tackle between the hashes, got up, adjusted his helmet, then just fell backwards to the ground. A couple minutes later the ambulance is on the field.

Bad shit.

Poor guys hope he is okay

He’s been blessed by the Lord…

This is bad.

OMG. Hope he’ll be ok.

Yeah, I’ve never seen anything like that.

I mean, I'm here in this thread

You literally saw Shazier get paralyzed on this field like 10 yards from where this happened

Yeah this part can make it hard to support.

It appeared to be a cardiac event. Hopefully they had a defibrillator right there like most high schools do now. If so, they may have been able to get it back if that is what it was...

That could support a carotid artery injury. Again - just a guess so apologies in advance if it's wrong.

I’m afraid it’s something a lot worse than concussion. Aneurysm perhaps? Very sad.

Holy hell CPR?

Oh, gee. You might be right. CPR going on.

administering CPR

yikes

Prayers to him and his family

You know its bad when they are just showing TV show promos instead of commercials.

9 minutes of CPR- not good.

Shit, they are doing cpr

A situation like this is gonna suck the air straight out of Buffalo

My God

Shit, this is horrible.

Hank Gathers?

CPR. Holy crap. This is horrifying.

Oh man

Damn doing CPR, agree with others has to be a cardiac issue. This is ****ing horrible

This could another Hank Gathers situation.

Postpone the game.

They’re doing CPR on him.

Lord God please breathe life into him Lord.

Oh ****. 9 minutes of CPR. He may very well be dead.

What a nightmare.

****. They’ve been doing CPR.

CPR for 9 minutes? Unless there is something that wasn’t found with his physicals it has to be the brain not getting the signals or sending out the signals to breathe.

How do you finish this game

Hope this isn’t Hank Geathers situation.

Sure hope he didn’t break his neck.

I'm not sure how they even keep playing if he's in critical condition.

I think they would have to. How could anyone focus on the game after that?

I was just thinking the same thing. It happened in the NHL around 2006 to Jiri Fischer.

They might cancel the game.

CPR? Must’ve been an arrhythmia after the hit.

****, man. This is not good.

holy shit... broken neck? Massive head injury? **** man

I imagine there's serious odds they don't.

This makes me wonder if it's like when a little league player takes a routine kiddy pitch to the wrong part of the chest and dies. That hit didn't seem like it would cause catastrophic damage in any way.

suspend the game call it a tie

**** man, I hope the kid is ok!

**** man, I feel so bad for Hamlin and his friends and family

Things like this make us realize this is just a game.
What a fragile endeavor we all partake in.
Still praying

The elephant in the room is asking why athletes keep dropping dead the last couple of years.

Incorrect.

They got to suspend the game right?

crowd clapping, hope thats a good sign

He took a helmet to the chest it looked like.

CPR? I hope he’s okay.

Lord, please let him be okay.

Didn't a hockey player die after getting hit in the chest with a puck?

He’s alive.

Wondering why they aren't administering CPR while taking him to a hospital.

ugh

life is so crazy

hug everyone

I wish I could hug all of you

love every day

I’m talking to my dad, who is a physician. Dad says he got hit in the front, not in the head or spine. he thinks it’s a cardiac issue but people usually fall forward, not back. This is not a typical injury. This is very serious. Thoughts and prayers to his family and to the team.

Reminds me of Christian Erickson in 2020 Euros. I suppose we can find hope that he was in cardiac and has made a full recovery to premier league competition.

Like the Dale Earnhardt wreck

They will continue the game tomorrow night.

I don't see how you can.

They need to call this game and do it another day.

9 minutes of CPR...ugh
