During the first quarter of the Bengals and Bills' Monday night battle, Hamlin collapsed on the field after tackling Cincinnati wide receiver Tee Higgins. The Bills' safety was reportedly not breathing when he collapsed, alarming the team's medical staff, who quickly performed CPR.

Hamlin was rushed off the field in an ambulance to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center after receiving emergency treatment before players on both teams decided to walk off. The game was later called off, and the Bills are reportedly not sticking around in Cincinnati to potentially play the game tomorrow.
