Eerily similar to incident that occurred at LexCath in game against Trinity.  

Parent for Trinity had heart attack in visitor stands and ambulance had to be brought onto field for evacuation. 

It was said that they had no vitals as they left, I.e. he was gone at the time.  Lots of prayers were done during the event.  On the way to hospital vitals returned and there was a full recovery. 

let's just pray - especially when its all you can do.

That was the most awful thing I’ve seen. How fast the ambulance was brought in made me think it was more than a head/neck injury, then they let us know about the CPR. No way these dudes can play tonight not knowing how he’s doing, especially as a teammate. Being Devils advocate here. If they suspend the game when could either team make this game up? if I’m the HC of Buffalo I’d rather take an L through forfeit then put my other players at risk bc they’re playing a violent sport at half speed and no emotion.  Let’s pray for this young man.

I wonder there too.  I assume the Bengals would say we are prepared to play and if the Bills don't play it would have to be a forfeit. Or they make an agreement to play tomorrow night.

Ambulance is apparently still waiting at the stadium to get his mother to ride with him. 

Wasn’t breathing on his own, but had a pulse. Used CPR and AED on the field. 

AED paddles can be used to correct weak/insufficient/out of rhythm hearbeats....but CPR is not administered by medicals professionals unless there is *NO* heartbeat.

If they were doing CPR and used an AED and now he has a pulse hopefully that means he responded positively to the treatment. 

 

They are reporting Commissioner Goodell is going to make the decision after he speaks with the coaches. 

Goodell needs to be on the phone to Cincinnati right now telling them that he doesn't care what is done to remedy the schedule, but the game is NOT finishing tonight.

 

 

Just end this for tonight and let the league figure this out overnight.   No one wants to play, coach or commentate.

Possible cause:

Commotio cordis.

I know this is an impossible situation for TV folks but Booger McFarland is handling this situation honestly and appropriately. I’ve not been as impressed with Kolber and Schefter.

They are in a tough situation.  I agree on Booger.
