The Bills said Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest following a hit during the Monday Night Football game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Game footage shows Hamlin stand up after the play and then collapse.

In a statement Monday announcing that the game would be postponed, the NFL said, "Hamlin received immediate medical attention on the field by team and independent medical staff and local paramedics. He was then transported to a local hospital where he is in critical condition."
