The NFL has officially suspended the Monday Night Football game between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals after Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered a scary injury on the field, according to Albert Breer on Twitter.

In a statement, the NFL said, “Tonight's Buffalo Bills-Cincinnati Bengals game has been postponed after Buffalo Bills' Damar Hamlin collapsed, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced. 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.”

Damar Hamlin collided with Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins. The Bills safety immediately stood up before collapsing onto the field.

Trainers from both the Bills and Bengals rushed onto the field, with notable players, such as Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs, showing visible emotion as Hamlin was being tended to.

The players knelt around the Bills safety as an ambulance and stretcher came onto the field. Hamlin reportedly had CPR administered to him on the field before he was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
