>> hello everyone, i'm john berman and it is just after 1 am on the east coast. 10 pm on the west. this is cnn special breaking

news coverage. because of what happened on monday night football. buffalo bills safety is in critical condition after collapsing following a collision during the first quarter of tonight's game between the buffalo bills and the cincinnati bengals. hamlin fell on his back. moments after getting. he tackled the bengals wide receiver. tee higgins. stood up. but then collapsed. buffalo bills team trainer scott got to him within ten seconds after he collapsed. an ambulance was brought onto the field. and he was administered cpr. also we are told defibrillators. which indicates possibly. and again we do not have specific information. but possibly. that it has something to do with his heart. that is why you do cpr and they defibrillator. we have got a lot to get to this hour. joining us now is cnn contributor bob costas. on the phone. cnn sports anchor coy wire.

coy, i want to start with you because you were just part of this nfl conference call where they made clear that they do not have any specific updates on them are hamlin's medical condition. which is something i think we were all waiting for. but they did provide some new information. quote did they tell you? >> the call happened at the stroke of midnight eastern time john. they gave a couple of logistical updates. one being that the team buffalo bills. they will travel back to buffalo tonight. they were informed just before midnight that was going to be the case. though a handful of players were choosing to stay. and cincinnati. to be at the hospital with their teammate. with their brother. the other issue was the question of when will this game resume. and they have not had any sort of communication or conversation about that. that will happen at a later time. they did discuss the emergency action plan that went into place. something they rehearsed. something they talk about with both head coaches before every

game. unfortunately, tonight that had to go into play. and what happened as soon as they noticed that tamar fell to the ground. it kicked in. the constant communications between troy vincent. the executive vice president of football operations. he is on the phone with the commissioner. head of the players union. on with both head coaches talking. they are getting live updates from the medical team about what is happening. and it came to a point john where troy vincent told the coaches. sean mcdermott for the buffalo bills. taylor for the cincinnati bengals. to go into their locker room with their teams. assess the situation. both head coaches came to the conclusion that what they had saw. their players, their team were too traumatized. but i with they had just witnessed on the field. and the coaches made and unprecedented to my knowledge decision to stop the game. and it was the correct decision. omar hamlin is a young man. he is second year in the

league. was drafted in the sixth round out of pittsburgh. playing monday night football. feeling like he is on top of the world. this was a huge game. huge playoff implications. and he gets this traumatic injury. that opens up scars for me personally. i'm a former safety for the buffalo bills. i played six seasons there. had a teammate of mine who was paralyzed on the field. they're in buffalo. i had a teammate in college. when i was playing at stanford university. we are playing against the washington huskies. my teammate hit their safety. and curtis williams. number 25, he was paralyzed from the waist down. two years later, he died, passed away from complications from the paralysis. these players, are witnessing things that will haunt them. it gets me worked up thinking about some of the things i experienced. i am proud as a former player. that the nfl, that those two

head coaches did make the decisions to call this game off. i think that is a huge step in the right direction. we've never seen that before. so now, for the first time we are seeing perhaps the most impactful moment where the words are not hollow. they are taking the health of these players seriously. so to me, that is a big moment. i'm praying for them are hamlin and his mother. his family, paying for their teammates. because they are more like brothers. we spend more time with your teammate during a season than you do with your own spouse or your own family. also praying for t higgins. the player who made contact. my teammate in college. carey carter, who made contact with a young man who passed away. that haunted him for a long time. so there is a lot of emotions, a lot of tough situation. and we can only hope and pray that de mar him one will be okay. and that he will get a full and speedy recovery john. >> coy wire, you are wearing your buffalo bills jacket. the emblem. is on your chest. but i think your heart is on

your sleeve today. we can see how hard this is for you to see what happened on the field. because you have been on the field. you have been in these situations. and yes, it is a game, yes you are all superstar athletes, but you are human beings. in all of these human beings. saw this happen before their eyes to someone that they care about. they care a lot about. bob costas, i want to bring you into this discussion, again i want to be clear that what we are all concerned about and what we all want to know. is about lamar hamlin's condition. and we just do not have any information about that at this time. other than we are told that he is in critical condition. he is in the university of cincinnati hospital. one of the great facilities in this country. is a terrific place to get the best care, surrounded by loved ones. we know that his mother was at the game so teammates of going back to the hospital. not sure if they're even still there. but bob, to the moment that coy is talking about.

the football side of it. which admittedly is the last important side. to see a game postponed like this, it is not something we have seen before. this is a moment. >> no, we have seen entire slates of games postponed. for example after 9/11. but generally speaking, football is not comparable to baseball. you play a doubleheader, you play almost every day so there is a rain out or some other circumstance. you play the next day. football is not like that. the bills have gone back. and it's quite was just saying, there are playoff implications. both of these teams are going to be in the playoff. but the seeding. in this year, again you have to stipulate this as we talk about the football side. it is very secondary. but since it is part of the story here. there is only one bye now. each conference, seven teams make the playoffs. but only the number one seat gets a buy. and it does not have to play in

the first round. it is a short home field in vantage. so long as they don't lose. so there is a football consideration. but how do you reschedule the football game when there will be two or more to play. next week is the final weekend of the season. then the playoffs start right after that. these two teams now have two teams left to play. two games left to play. while everybody else in the league has only won. so how do you play this game and not have a domino effect where these two teams find themselves playing three or four days apart heading into the playoffs, which does not seem fair. and i'm sure the nfl is thinking about that, because they have to. but i also appreciate what they have been saying publicly which is that is not their concern tonight. their primary concern. their primary concern along with everybody else is damar hamlin health. as we've been hearing, the

bills are on their way back. the team plane is going back to buffalo from cincinnati. some players will stay behind. to be with their friend damar hamlin. what do you think that has to be like? to get onto the plane. to leave, to go back to buffalo. >> i remember when i played there in buffalo. one of my six seasons. it was 2007. i mentioned my teammate who was paralyzed. he was a teammate. a tight end rather from the university of miami. and we continue to play that game. somehow try to put the blinders on. have the next snap mentality. in power through the game. i just remembered, i wanted to go home. call my parents. and call and be there with my wife. and hooker extra tight. you know it is going to be a very difficult plane ride home for those players. a lot of them probably will not

sleep tonight. because we saw happen on tv. we saw replace. but you do not see what these players and coaches are seeing. when you are there on the field. and you are standing feet away from your teammate. i've seen eyes rolling back in heads. i've seen arms and hands quivering and shaking uncontrollably. i've heard noises coming from teammates that you just do not want to hear. so it's going to be really tough for the guys tonight. and for the rest of the season. praying for that damar hamlin, and he will be okay. and that the team can rally around him and his family. give them the support they need. maybe he will be back on the field on the sidelines with them. as they continue to play the rest of the season. >> let's hope. we were just looking at some of the footage from after it had happened on the field. players hugging each other. players on both teams hugging each other. because there is no team in the, there is just a collection of people going through this

incredibly emotional moment. that is the bills coach there. correct josh allen. stephan diggs also there. it has to be really hard for all of them. quote, standby if you will. and bob, stick around to. we now have with us adam benin. sports director of buffalo television station wgrz. it was at the game. thank you so much for being with us. look, let me just first ask you because what everybody is so desperate for at this point is any kind of information about his condition. anything you are hearing from your sources. or people within the team. >> john, it is kind of locked down on this. i saw what his agent had told. to kind of pray for him. that there would be no further update tonight. there was a marketing associate of his that had tweeted something to the effect of that

his vitals were improving. and that he was being integrated. so there was some hope in connection to that tweet. but a spokesperson from the university of cincinnati medical center had said there would be no further update tonight. i can tell you that i am still at the stadium right now. in the media room down here. and the bosses left at 12:24 a.m. was the time they rolled out of here. they freed up the tunnel near the locker room. and an incredibly emotional seem. i was moved by listening to coy wire, i had the pleasure of getting to know quite a little bit back during his nfl career. complete and total class act as you all know. and you hear his description of that, i was able to see the faces of the bills players, not only on the field, but we all went down to the locker room from the press box. and we're kind of any initial

moments, just as the ambulance had left. taken de mar to the university of cincinnati medical center, there was the chaos of the head coaches, the gm's, brandon been, sean mcdermott. the bills ownership was there as well. the officials, obviously the conference was taking place with the national football league. statement from the league suspending the game. came out a short time later. but to see some of the faces of players later in the evening just kind of like so many others in shock. you can give coy's description of what it is like to go through that as a player. just as it adds to the motion and put in perspective emotions so many have to be feeling here tonight. >> it's comforting to hear that you are a co-member of the coy wire fan club. coy is one of the best, it's been so great to hear from him

tonight on this. adam, if you will. i think this is something we haven't done quite enough, as we evolve in witnessing this tonight. tell us about them are hamlin. about who he is. not just the player, but maybe the man. >> to the extent i get to know him. 2021 sixth round pick out of pittsburgh. with some injuries and that sort of thing. had to step up. has done a good job proving himself. his talent on the football field. but i believe i heard you earlier last hour. i was on with you for a brief time. dialed in for a brief time. we were talking about his charity with the toys. the amount of money. don't have the update on what has been raised by the left i saw it was $700,000. shouted from the donations. outpouring of support for him tonight. a community oriented.

and you look at the way the bills acted tonight after an extreme circumstance. this is an extraordinarily tight-knit group. that is very supportive and active in the community as well. as people get to know and obviously after, this will get to know much more about his community working charity. falls in line with a lot of the quite frankly culture that sean mcdermott and brian embiid have been able to build with this franchise here in buffalo. extraordinarily well liked by his teammates. a tremendously tight-knit group. i think made even farther south by the mass shooting i n

we are waiting for more information on that. the information at this point

tackle. he was the one doing the tackling. and goes wide receiver higgins. joining me now, a reporter for the buffalo news who was at the game, and is still, at the stadium, a law neither morning now for you. just talk to us about what you saw, and what it looked like from your perspective? >> yes, that is still correct. i'm here at the stadium, you know, it was, we were discussing this a little, bit those of us remaining here in the press, blocks it appears to be relatively normal football play where -- was involved in the tackle with higgins. because there was a crowd around other players, at officials after the play, none of us at first saw him collapse, from the press box from a pretty high vantage point. we never saw him collapse.

but it was very apparent from the reaction of the players around him and the officials that something was seriously wrong. i quite frankly had never seen players react that way. you know, obviously these are guys who are accustomed weekly unfortunately to teammates be insured, it was a very apparent just seconds after he collapsed that something was terribly wrong, and the sheer number of athletic trainers and emergency medical personnel who came out to treat him, to see with which a -- stretcher was brought out, and the ambulance was brought onto the field. all of this lead us to do away with the conclusion that whatever it was that had happened was something extraordinarily serious. >> whatever it was. that is the thing at this, point because we haven't really been given any official

information on what happened exactly. we do know cpr that was part of the nfl statement, and we have been told some people reported seeing, i guess, and the defibrillator situation. any information you have on the nature of what did this? >> not beyond what the league has said, and what i witnessed personally through binoculars in the press box which was cpr being performed on the field. i do want to say, i have never, and i hope i never see something like that again. i think that was a scene that is going to stick with everyone in the stadium, and it was incredibly disturbing scene. as you can see, from the sheer emotion of the players, the coaches, who are on the, sideline on the field, it was extraordinary difficult to witness. again, it would be premature

for me to, you know, offer any specifics at all. in regards to his condition. i believe that is from the nfl or from the bills themselves, and we can confidently report he was given cpr, and he was taken to a level one trauma center here at the university of cincinnati medical center, which is about four miles from the stadium. >> any contact at this point with the team, or is the team doing what they should be doing which is taking care of each other? >> yes. we have of course reached out to the team, we have not heard back, we have received an official statement from the nfl in which they, again, said that tomorrow hamlin was in critical condition. the league had done a conference call with some executives, that wrapped up maybe 45 minutes ago. we learned on that call and wanted to clarify that all of his teammates are returning to

buffalo this evening, that is significant piece of news. as it pertains to what the future of the team might be, obviously, that is very secondary to del mar have oneself right now, but we do know that the bills are returning to buffalo as we speak. >> again, secondary to health. i think everyone agrees on that at this point. everyone agrees they only want to see tomorrow hamlin, his condition improved. but, eventually there will be questions about how or when or if the skin will ever be -- i appreciate you being here with us tonight, thank you for the work you are doing i know this is the kind of night you would much rather be writing about tackles for the bills, getting the first seat in the afc, and here is hoping to get a chance to write those stories again soon. thanks, jeff. >> appreciate, it thank you. >> we will take a quick break and come back with much more on the breaking news tonight. buffalo bills damar hamlin 24 years old, in critical condition after collapsing on the field tonight.

>> the breaking news tonight, buffalo bills safety damar hamlin, 24 years old is hospitalized in critical condition. he collapsed after a collision during the first quarter of monday night football. the buffalo bills against the cincinnati bengals. he fell on his back just moments after getting up from a tackle. he tackled a bengals wide receiver higgins. i want to bring in doctor -- an emergency room physician and deputy dean at brown university school public health, and, doctor anthony cardillo is also an emergency room physician to get a sense of what we saw. i want to make, clear there has been no official statement about the medical condition other than he is in hospital with critical condition, but no official statement about the nature of the injury itself. so, doctor, first to you, what

did you see? >> so, i actually am on vacation, arranged monday in order to see the bills game. i'm a lifelong bills fan, and so i was sitting and watching the game with my family. and when you first watched, it looked like irregular tackle. you then went down, you saw folks come out to the field, so i'm surrounded, my fellow emergency physicians rushed out to treat him and very quickly realized something had gone horribly wrong. >> and based on the type of treatment and the placement of the hat, the collision itself, cpr, we are told maybe a defibrillator, the collision appeared to be in the area of his chest, what does that tell? you >> saw what that suggests to me is that most likely, this was something called commotion quarters, when you get hit in the chest and it hits it just

at the right or wrong time, in the cardiac cycle, it can disrupt your heart rhythm. basically make it so the hard cannot beat correctly. and cause cardiac arrest. the treatment for that is of course quick cpr, every minute to go without cpr puts you at risk. second, quick application of and -- to shock you and get your height back into a regular rhythm. if indeed, mr. hamlin did suffer crimo show cordes, it was thanks to the preparation of the nfl and the nfl players association, thanks to the quick response of all those trained medical professionals and emergency physicians at the game that his life would have been saved. doctor, the likelihood of that being the injury that you saw, is there any other possible explanation? >> well they're certainly, our but have to, agree this is pretty much developing into what we think is commercial cordes. this is a traumatic injury to

the interior chest, it has to have been at the exact time when the heart is getting prepared to beat again during that rehabilitation cycle. this is exceedingly rare, however it is almost like getting struck by lightning at is that rare. it has to be acute trauma to the chest, just at the ripe moment. looking at how this is unfolding, you watch that in the video, the trauma, the trauma to the chest is pretty consistent with what you would expect to induce this. the second is the way he stood up and then fell backward, you see that kind of fall, or sink when you have a cardiac event, dysrhythmia of the heart not beating. a pumps blood up to the brain, that causes you to pass out. it is all developing, so it is this phenomenon, and then of course he was. -- almost immediately after he fell down again indicating that -- lethal rhythm or a ventricular

fibrillation. now, like we are seeing, we are hoping that cpr was started immediately, and the 80 was available. the automated external different later it was available, and he was shocked quickly. those are the immediate life saving therapeutic interventions which would have saved his. life >> so cpr and the defibrillator, that can make a difference, that can perhaps get you through this? >> 100% that is life or death weather cpr is started, and also the need to have aeds everywhere in our community, it is lifesaving technology when the heart is fibrillator. the only thing you can do is -- we are hopeful that is what happened on the field. >> and, if that happened on the field, in time, what now? what is the treatment now? >> well, of course, he is in critical condition right now. he would have been --

originally, and hopefully would have come back and the real -- is going to be how long is he down for. how long before he got mouth to mouth resuscitation, or a -- someone breathing for him and how quickly -- what happens now, he is young, he is healthy, is an athlete, he is well conditioned. if it came back, he is certainly back to normal, or close to normal physiological status. it is really going to be dependent upon how much -- he had. this is all speculative, all the physicians watching what happened we're looking at the trauma he had, and how he fell down, and then how his care unfolded. it is really all pointing towards this traumatic dysrhythmia that would've happened and really it is going to --

how long he was without any oxygen. >> a statement said he had been intubated, talk to us about that and why and for how long, and also what science we would be looking for no. >> absolutely. so the first and foremost important thing is that cpr was done quickly, and automatic external defibrillator was applied. we delay intermission until we have good cpr. cpr matters so much more than being intubated. once you do get a rhythm back, as the doctor mentioned, you want to breathe for you. we want to take away the stress of trying to ventilate yourself, we want to put you into a medical coma so we can stabilize, you make sure your body heals, and then over the next 24 to 48 hours, going to be watching very closely to see what sort of natural neurological responses you

demonstrate, to how your heart, responds to how your blood pressure response, watch if you start breathing on your own. there are times where we will put the body into an induced hypothermia, basically cool you down to remove stress, allow the heart to repair, allow you to get -- leave it to the doctors in the emergency department and cincinnati to have made the decision whether or not to cool him, by intervening him is a very normal thing after cardiac arrest. if that was true, and i think as good news. i think, i and many of, us who care deeply about the bills, who care about football, who are watching with concern, with the amount of time that had cast since -- he fell until we got any updates, that length of time was so concerning and implied that nothing good was happening. the fact that he is a life is a really good sign. >> well, let's hope, we are

waiting for more information from the university of cincinnati hospital at this point. thank you both so much for helping us understand, i think we are much more educated now than we were a few minutes ago on what the process may have been over the last several hours. so thank you very much for that. >> thank you. >> i think everyone tonight as a bills fan, or at least a hamlin fan. we will have much more on our breaking news. damar hamlin safety for the buffalo bills in critical condition after this collapse on the field. the game was postponed, that is of secondary significance now. we will get as much so -- stay with us.

tackle of bengals wide receiver -- a little while ago, the nfl held a conference call with reporters. one of the people speaking on a hat call from that lead was troy vincent executive vice president of the nfl himself, a former all pro nfl player. he was talking about troy vincent was, what it was like to be monitoring the situation in a conference with other nfl executives including roger goodall. let's listen to troy vincent. >> watching in realtime, we had an open line of communication where we were talking again, it was a lot of people in the open line, and did not want anybody to chalk of. again, you would speaking frequently. and, he could obviously he was devastated as well, this was --

we just haven't seen an hour time. and, the concern was, you kept asking, what is the latest, update what is the latest update on -- >> again, that was troy vincent from the nfl. joining me now is former nfl player dante, thank you for being with us. i really appreciate it. this injury have been after a collision between the more hamlin who is a defensive back in the wide receiver teaching and some of the cincinnati mingles. you yourself for a receiver. talk to us about the power of a collision like that. >> yeah, you know, what it really looked routine. i mean, i watch nfl all the time, been a fan since as long as i can remember. and it was a typical routine play when -- across the middle, and a defensive back tackles, them

and when i saw them jump up and he fell back down to the ground, i knew it was something that we had really seen before. we have seen bias before unconscious on the ground, we've seen players tear ligaments, break bones which are a horrible but this seems a lot different initially just because he had stood up, and he wasn't stumbling around. is to have a few, seconds and he went back down. that was concerning, and i saw the concern on the -- you can always tell when a player is really injured, because you will see the players from both teams motioning frantically over to the players sideline. emotionally over to the sideline, tell them to -- this player needs medical attention, immediately, and you saw that, i think you saw -- who actually --

point down to the ground, and emotion over to the sidelines for the medical staff to come out, and you saw the players after a few minutes, could not really see what was happening on the field because they were all crowded around. but when both benches cleared, to me that was significant, because usually when players have concussions which are obviously traumatic brain traumatic injuries, those are really tough. when a player has some type of season ending injury that is unfortunate for everyone, we will see players on the field come out and wish the player well, but both cleared and you saw players on both sides, place on both teams crying. i never seen that before. it just underscored the severity of the and of the injury. and, when you heard the announcers speaking, they said

they were administering cpr, that for me -- never seen that, before i had been following since as long as it can, remember i played for ten, years i coached, and on any level, and, never saw anyone administer cpr when -- right from the very beginning, there are some reports that the bills plane has departed cincinnati. the players have done -- because of the unprecedented nature of, this is hard to put yourself in that situation, but what do you think it must be like for those players on that plane right now? >> they are all, i am sure they are all trying to get updated information on his health. i know they are. anytime a player has, there's been a couple times and played in the games where players have not flown back unless -- we always fly out immediately

after the game, you know, we go in the locker, room shower, the coach says whatever he wants to say about the game, and we get on the bus to head straight to the airport. we leave, and we go back home. so these players, i can just imagine there is consistent asking for, updates wishing them well, and saying their prayers, and just hoping and praying that the best outcome for de mar, whatever that case may be, that he can continue to be a healthy human after this. because, football is secondary, i know we saw it on the players faces and coaches faces that there wasn't even a football game after that. those guys were all concerned about lamar and his health. >> that is a great point, it is another human being right now. dante, thank you so much for being, with us appreciate it. we will take a quick break. we will be right back. makes trading easier. with its customizable options chain,
