After Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field during Monday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals, a flood of memories came rushing back for Chicago Bears legend Dick Butkus.
After Hamlin collapsed, with trainers performing CPR as he was transported in an ambulance, the teams went back to their locker rooms, and ultimately the decision was made to suspend the remainder of the contest.
“It wasn’t like this thing. This thing, it just went across the country. Our game wasn’t on national TV, so there wasn’t really the impact as this has had,” he said. Butkus praises all of that, and also says that he hopes athletes and fans alike will use this as a reminder to take care of their heart health, and never to take it for granted.
