The NFL wants you to believe that Buck’s report came out of thin air.
ESPN’s Joe Buck said on the air that the NFL told the Bills and Bengals were being given five minutes to warm up after Buffalo’s Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest, had CPR and left the field in an ambulance for the hospital on Monday night.This has led to a back-and-forth between the league and one of its most important network partners.
“There was constant communication in real time between ESPN and league and game officials,” ESPN said in a statement. “As a result of that, we reported what we were told in the moment and immediately updated fans as new information was learned. This was an unprecedented, rapidly-evolving circumstance. All night long, we refrained from speculation.”
