He’s a good man. Just weeks ago he was helping his community with a Christmas toy drive for kids . 🙏🏽.

The way ESPN handled this was outstanding. This was completely unexpected and then keeping football, records, etc out of the conversation was very important. Even the ones in the studio did amazing. Honestly, great job ESPN.

First and foremost, prayers for Damar and his family. We were sitting 10 rows up on the bills side by the 25 that the bills were scoring on. Nobody knew what was happening, but incredible in the worst way how quickly they had an ambulance coming out and all that… stadium went dull. There was no service, so most knew nothing until they could make a call out to somebody watching on TV. Incredibly horrifying and nothing but prayers, peace, and love to Damar and his family. The Bengals fans were nothing but classy and clearly, tonight was a moment much bigger than football.

I love Joe Buck man “Nobody cares about how I feel.” Is exactly what someone in his situation should say

We can not lose this young man. Please everyone pray for him .

As a Bills fan watching the event unfold, a big shout out to the Bengals fans. The respect and reverence the fans showed for an opposing player conveyed the genuine dignity of the fans in Cincinnati. Hat's off to those fans.

It was also reported Sean McDermott and Zac Taylor got this game stopped. League was ready to begin after a 5 minute warm-up period. Taylor and Sean hugged, Coaches stepped in. Good on them.

My heart is full knowing how many people care about this young man. Makes me cry to see the best of humanity. May God bless him.

I’m a fan of the Bills, but tonight I’m a mother grieving for the entire family including all the players. I’ve had tears fall down my face for a young man I didn’t know. Lamar, I’m praying for you. God bless you🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Been watching the NFL for 40+ years can't remember anyone needing CPR on the field ..... really hope this guy pulls through.

10/24/1971 chuck Hughes died suddenly on the field. I seen it live on television,never forgot. I pray this young man survives and makes a full recovery....

Such a terrifying situation. Imagine being a family member of his, his mother. God bless him all we can do is hope he pulls through 🙏🏻

Life can change in a heart beat literally

The latest I’ve heard is that his vitals are back to normal, which is a huge step from the critical condition update... I love that everybody pulled together for him to pull through.

I hope Damar is OK. Such a scary moment. This is bigger than football. 🙏🏾

This has rocked my soul! My 34 year old son passed away in the hospital due to nurses negligence. He coded after surgery they gave him CPR FOR 9 MINUTES AND BROUGHT BACK HIS HEART BUT NOT IN TIME FOR HIS BRAIN. SI I AM NOT IN A GOOD PLACE . I PRAY FOR THE FAMILY AND DAMAR.

Damar Hamlin is a decent, good, young man. Praying for him to have a full recovery and praying for his family. EVERYONE in Buffalo, WNY and all over America are with Damar and his family🙏

❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I am glad they showed some humanity 😢anyone that was viewing this game could see this was not a normal thing or injury and felt the emotion of the moment all prayers with the player and family, dear god I asked you for a miracle healing ❤️‍🩹

Please be ok Damar, keep fighting!

I am so scared for him...I am a mom and my heart is breaking for him

The scary part was that he suffered a cardiac arrest after that tackle to the chest. He literally died on the field and miraculously revived by the medical personnel a few minutes later. To a Parent, that’s definitely hard to watch and hear your child who has to go through that and knowing the caution of this sport can be. Really hoping Damar Hemlin gets better and swiftly recovers…

I pray for Damar to make a full recovery...🙏🙏🙏

Prayers for Damar and his family. I love seeing people coming together displaying acts of kindness on so many levels.

those who have played and understood this profession are the ones I most want to hear from and thank you for speaking of this and of the brotherhood. So many prayers for this young man, his family, and for all who are traumatized in this

Great job gentleman. Tough situation. I felt these same emotions when Tua got injured (dolphins fan). Praying for Damar.

Somebody hit my vehicle and was upset about it but after watching this it really is a small thing in life. Preying for Damar Hamlin 🙏

Never have I seen a game literally stop because of a player's injury. Praying for Damar 🙏🏿🙏🏿❤️❤️

This a man a few weeks ago who did a Christmas toy drive for kids so they got gifts for Christmas. He's also 24 years old in the prime of his life an the way he fell on that field tonight was just heartbreaking to see. You see guys take these hits on a weekly basis an sometimes it don't register when your watching the damage these hits can do an tonight we saw that first hand. But what a beautiful sight the bengals & bills fans outside the hospital keeping a vigil for him an I hope he gets through this an he can make a recovery

I was raised on a farm and I helped many times to bring a young animal into this world. I then worked for 25 years seeing people die and many times seeing and helping with CPR. It is shocking in different ways to be a part of that. It's like being next to the port hole of life. One is wonderful the other is horrible. I pray for this young life.

Hope Damar is okay. And prayers to his family.

ESPN did a wonderful job of broadcasting on this injury. Way to go ESPN!!!!!

So young, handsome, and a beautiful soul. Prayers for this young man, and for his mama that she'll see his smile again.

Praying 🙏🏼 that Hamlin will be okay. The only comparison I have is Christian Eriksen (currently on Manchester United and the Denmark 🇩🇰 national team). He had a cardiac arrest mid-game during the 2021 Euros. It’s always scary to see. Thoughts and prayers with him and his family. Hopefully Hamlin can make a full recovery like Eriksen did.

This reminds of the Italian soccer player who collapsed and died 10 years ago on the field. I pray for you Damar

This is so tragic and such a rare injury. According to Brian Sutterer MD, has a youtube channel, who explained this rare injury is called, Commotio cordis. When blunt force trauma hits the chest and interrupts the heart rhythm, causing the heart to stop...🙏🙏🙏 prayers to his friends and family.

God bless this young man and his family

Prayers sent to him 🙏🙏

We all forget they are human beings. We watch these gladiators every week and think nothing of these plays. Usually we just think its just another play. Im not a bills fan, i wasnt even watching the game. But this really has alot of people thinking (including myself) how hard this sport is. What these people put their bodies through every week. Ive never seen anything like this in the NFL. I just hope he pulls through.

Seattle Seahawks Fan here- was already Going for the Buffalo Bills to WIN SB57 for a Plethora of reasons. Praying for Damar Hamlin. Personally, I'm a competitor and Seadoo Racer for Fun. I'm PRAYING FOR DAMAR HAMLIN AND HIS FAMILY. Because in the End, Love is All that matters.

I’m praying for the health and betterment of this young man. Lord please wrap your loving arms around of this man. Keep him wrapped under your wings of love.All in the name of Jesus. AMEN 🙏

Was listening to the game on the radio. Sending a prayer to Hamlin 🙏

Praying for Damar Hamlin, his family, teammates, loved ones during this terrible tragedy. Life is precious and I hope this is a moment that unifies people in a positive direction 🙏 ♥ 💔

Praying for Damar. It is a sad event for any athlete in any sport to go through this or something like it. But for the sake of everyone, STOP speculating. STOP theorizing medical conditions. This is why people devalue news outlets. Wishing a speedy recovery for Damar and prayers to his family.

Former Jacksonville Jaguars guard Uche Nwaneri dies age 38 'from acute heart failure after collapsing at his wife's home

I am so glad that his teammates form a huddle around him. 👀 And as they started. 🙏 Praying for Hamlin. "The Power of Prayers"

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 for him and his family

PRAYERS GOING UP FOR HIM WISHING HIM A HEALTHY RECOVERY 🙏🏼 ❤️

I don't know who Damar Hamlin is, but what I do know is he is a human being above all else. This world has fallen pretty cold over the past couple years due to COVID, Politics and so on, but we all need to understand that the only thing that has changed is our mindset. We need to get back to living with each other and not simply among one another. Life is precious and people are primarily good by nature. We need to start loving and respecting one another for the world's sake. My heart breaks for this man and his family. I truly hope he will be okay. To his teammates, friends, family and loved ones, stay strong. Love to all from Massachusetts.

Prayers 🙏 for Damar Hamlin.

Let's not forget about the heroes that brought him back. As we pray for his recovery. 🙏 We are blessed. 🙌

May god bless him and give him comfort and strength

It was so nice of ESPN to not milk the emotion of the incident and to not run advertisements.

Prayers up for damar ! Wow !!

Heartbroken, please higher power let this young man pull threw this. Its just too young. I pray for his family and teammates. I am not a fan of football but watching the video was heartbreaking.

I can't believe this happened live, seeing it was so surreal. I knew right away the way he fell back that something was wrong....such a travesty. I hope he can make it, and prayers to his mother and family that had to see it happen.

Troy had more concussions and played through them than most surprised he is still good. Thank God dude was tough as nails. Glad he spoke on this

We know injuries are a part of the game, but when we're talking about someone in critical condition like this, everyone just wants him to be ok. Don't care about a comeback, a season, or anything. Just want that young man to stay with us.

The NFL did the right thing, there was just no way this game could have continued. Once the gravity of the situation hit, nothing else mattered other than to save the life of Damar Hamlin. Football as we know it, no matter how much you love it, it is just a game at the end of the day. When something this dire happens, this is when you need to sit up straight, wake up and put football aside. Damar first and foremost is a son, a brother and a friend. This is a tragic situation. I just saw Brian Sutterer MD posted a video diagnosing it as Commotio Cordis. If it turns out to be true, then I am afraid the survival rate is not good. This is the time when we all need to pray for Damar.

Prayers to this young man and his family/teammates…. I can’t help but wonder if this is in any relation to the soccer players who have also collapsed on the field…

Class acts ESPN

I think Scot Van Pelt did a tremendous job having to unexpectedly take over after the tragic event. Most importantly he displayed respect for Hamlin and his family. To me SVP was a strong voice, someone to look up to, as he helped people scared from what they saw to realize we were all in the same boat, just hoping for Hamlin’s recovery

Prayers to Damar,The Hamlin Family and My Buffalo Bills Family..

I'm usually the first to dog ESPN but this is in another level and they did good

Prayers ❤ The game doesn’t matter. This young man and his family does. There are hundreds of thousands of prayers tonight.

Prayers to Damar his family and team mates.

My prayers are going up for this young man and his family. The nfl needs to find ways to allow the defensive players to protect themselves also. This should not happen and I pray that young man pulls through.

“Come on God. Please…. Come on” Stephon Diggs said it best. Lord be with him and guide the hands of the talented medical professionals you have placed in front of him. Have your will be done. Grant his family and loved once the comfort and peace only you can provide father. And be with his brothers on the field. Can not imagine what it feels like watch someone you go into battle with collapse. Comfort them lord grant all involved clarity and serenity. Amen! Damar your story is not over! It’s just the end of a chapter! Can’t wait to see the next one and the rest of it! You will be stronger than ever! I know it! I pray for it🙏🏾

As someone who did not watch the game I was dumbstruck as to why the game was postponed. I now understand. Players and coaches did not want to continue after seeing that. Respect.

Prayers for this kid and you have to feel for Joe and Troy in the booth. I think they just wanted to get off the air and ESPN kept kicking them out there as like a voice of reason when they shouldn't have been

SVP ALWAYS KNOW HOW TO COMFORT US . PRAYERS FOR DEMAR🙏🏼🙏🏼

Prayers for Demar and his family

Prayers to him and his family

Joe buck best announcer there is in sports . Prayers for Hamlin

Praying for him! 🙏🏾

Prayers for his family and friends.

Praying for this young man, Damar. Thinking of his Mother in particular. I believe she was at his game tonight. 🙏🙏🙏.

Praying for Damar, and his family 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤.... Now, he is doing so much better. He is talking, and asked, " Who won the game ?" God bless him!!!! God has answered all our prayer's.....

It’s beyond time that We The People unite and demand accountability. Praying for Damar…his family…friends and the rest of the globe.

Something like this happened before. Not the same injury but the same on field results. In 1997 linebacker for the Detroit Lions Reggie Brown collapsed and stopped breathing due to a neck injury. They performed CPR and I believe the team doctor which was a surgeon intubated him on the field. Reggie ended up Paralyzed but since then I think he recovered most of his movements. Seems the Hamlin injury has nothing to do with the neck though.

Prayers for Damar Hamlin

God speed speedy recovery ,peace be with everyone who has viewed thus tragic event ,love ,comfort to all

🙏🏻🙏🏻 Prayers to Damar and his family, and for his teammates, who must be incredibly shaken up.

It was so shocking to see. Hope Damar will be ok. 🙏🏻

Praying for this young man.

I watched Bears game as a child when Chuck Hughes died. They worked on Hughes for a long time and he did not make it. I hope Hamlin makes it. This is soooo 😭

Sadly seen it before with footballers (soccer players) in the past. Marc Vivien Foe immediately came to mind though I don't know if it was the hit that really played a big part. I also remember Antonio Puerta in Spain. This is sad and I hope he recovers.

Please get better soon Mr. Hamlin. Please just hug the family, listen to there concerns.

Prayers for Damar.

So unfortunate truly prayers to damar his mom and his family I can’t imagine at all this is truly crazy 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️

And to think, last year Troy and Buck witnessed the Donald Parham incident. But this is much more serious. Best wishes to Damar Hamlin and his family.

I was literally commenting what a hard hitting game this was as this occurred. They had just taken a Bill player back for concussion protocol moments earlier. It was a heavyweight match and both teams were playing at a high level. It was such a gut punch when it became obvious this situation was not evolving like the last player who walked off the field. The coverage was proper by ESPN and its entire staff. I think they showed one, maybe two replays before the event evolved into what it was. At that point they never showed it again which was a very alert and proper thing to do. The hit itself was really unprovocative and nothing you would consider to be impactful. In retrospect it was just the intensity of the hit at that exact location on his chest that created that moment. Prayers for a full recovery for Damar and peace and comfort for all his family, team mates, and close friends.

Prayers

Keep fighting, Damar. We are ALL in your corner.

I obviously knew it was serious when the ambulance came and they cut to commercial break. Prayers 🙏 out to Hamlin and his family at this time.

Prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Prayers up for Demar and Family, the Bills Organization, praying for you DEMAR for a healthy speedy recovery, fight for the win, GOD GOT YOU🙏💙🏈

I really hope Mr Damar Hamlin get better I want to say to say family and friends and brothers in the NFL fans and people all over is praying for him

I pray for Hamlin and his family! Also, I pray for the man that tackled him because I know he is going through it! ❤

Our prayers and sweet recovery to Damar H. He's in the lord's hands 🏈✌🙏🙏 from Edinburgh, Texas you will make it out !!!!!

As a Dolphins fan, seeing Tua getting two concussions this season and now Damar who plays for the Bills who are in the AFC East with the dolphins, this is devastating not only to the family, but to his team, all other teams and I would hope to all fans. I hope Damar has a speedy recovery and is able to continue playing in the NFL. Just a though, if he comes back to play, the the Bills will never trade him.
