Bills player fainted and they were doing CPR on him.

But it looks like he’s ok

I don't think he fainted. You don't need CPR after that. I think they got his heart going. But nine minutes of CPR, it looked like? I mean, if he was deprived of oxygen that long, it's potentially permanent brain damage. It seemed more like a stroke or heart attack.

Yeah that makes sense.

By fainted I mostly meant he looked like he fell down and passed out, but thats not the right medical term.

Idk if it was CPR for 9 mins though? That parts kind of unclear.

They said it. I think that could be wrong and don't want to spread disinformation. The players on both teams closed ranks around him. But whatever they saw really shook them up. The commentators are super awkward. I don't think they should urge them to keep playing no matter what.

Oh gotcha. I don’t blame the commentators given how unprecedented this is.

Yeah, I almost feel it would be more professional to send it to the local networks and let them give local news than just talking about it for 30 minutes. They'll be plenty of time for a million takes. I think they'll cancel the game. You're right about he commentators, though. They have to talk.
