Hamlin collapsed on the field during the week 17 clash with the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday. During the first quarter, the Bills safety tackled the Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins and fell down. He tried to get up but failed. Medics rushed onto the field to administer CPR and then rushed him to the hospital, where he remains sedated in critical condition. The NFL called the game off for the day and the new date, if any, will come in due course.
