The game halted temporarily to pave the way for Hamlin’s treatment on the field. After the medics transported the player to the hospital, the teams got five minutes to warm up and start the game again. But how does one play with all the minds locked in a worry of their fellow player?

“They won’t be willing to go back onto the field until they know he’s OK. I just don’t know how any of these players can come out and play football tonight,” Troy Aikman said on air.
