How in the world could you go back out there and play a game after seeing that on the field? Shut it down.

Remember watching something similar unfold a couple years ago with Christian Eriksen at Euros. Was even more graphic to watch. I hope for a similar outcome.

I don’t even know how you try to play after this. My vote would be to end the game.

Would be extremely difficult. Last year 3 high school football players died during games from traumatic head injuries. Stuff happens. I would still want to play all over again. Life’s a risk.

Bills fan. I can’t even say enough how odd that was. Poor young man. Good player, hard hitter. I didn’t see anything on that tackle or his reaction. He just dropped. I don’t know how you can play a football game unless he recovers, which hopefully he does.

This is surreal. We had a 30 year employee collapse and die out at work this AM. We gave him CPR for about 25 min out on the production floor before the EMTs arrived.

Had to run the defib (it wasn't detecting anything therefore wouldn't fire) and then help carry him out through production on the back board.

It was horrific. All the employees were right there and he was obviously dead. The EMT's took him out and everyone was like 'now what? Several went home. Some stayed and finished the shift.

Ruptured aorta?
Probably not if the report of him having a pulse was accurate. Heart stoppage due to a blow to the heart is more likely. That’s reversible but depending on how long his heart was stopped he could be unconscious for a while. They could even sedate him and chill his body for several days to lessen brain damage.

So sorry. Just horrible.

Active CPR which may have included intraosseos drugs -where they literally use a drill to place a line into the tibia to administer drugs is pretty traumatizing to witness. No way they should play this game tonight

Whoever in the league decided they would give the teams 5 minutes to warm up before continuing should be fired

By now I can’t believe they haven’t made a decision to cancel the game..

This eerily reminding me of my brother Brady Beran whom played for Lincoln East '06.

During the Cotton Bowl game, they showed the Tulane player from a few years ago (now paralyzed) getting CPR on the field.

Sad and eery. Wishing him the best.

Good move to finally postpone. Cannot play tonight, no matter what the updates are. Praying for positive news.

What a horrific sight to see a young man collapse like that. Prayers to him and his family. Hoping he is able to recover.

Well considering that the coaches pulled their teams off the field I don’t think the NFL had any choice. Call the game a tie.

I'm not much for prayer but saying a prayer for the kid tonight. Things like this offer some perspective about what's important.
