Monday night's game was stopped after Hamlin collapsed less than six minutes into the first quarter and the Bengals leading, 7-3. The Bills said he suffered cardiac arrest and his heartbeat had to be restored on the field after getting hit in the chest following a tackle of Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins.

The Bills announced that Hamlin was sedated and in critical condition at a local Cincinnati hospital.
