NFL: Game suspended as a player collapsed during the match.

The "Monday Night Football" game between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals was postponed in the first quarter after Buffalo Bills player, Damar Hamlin collapsed after a hit and was taken off the field by ambulance.

Hamlin tackled Bengals receiver Tee Higgins, stood to his feet briefly, and then collapsed. Players and coaches from both teams looked on and kneeled as Mr Hamlin was treated.

Medical personnel administered CPR and attended to him for 10 minutes as players from both teams were visibly upset, some shedding tears on the sideline while others circled together and knelt in prayer. One medical professional appeared to administer an IV. Hamlin was later placed on a stretcher and transported to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
