Hamlin had his heartbeat restored on the field on Monday night, and he is currently in critical condition at a Cincinnati hospital, the Bills said in a statement.
The scary scene played out during the nationally televised game, and it hit close to home for several Titans.
Titans defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons revealed in the locker room today his uncle, former NFL defensive end Jason Hatcher, lost his 15-year-old son last month while he was playing football. Simmons said it was related to a heart condition.
"Just to see that, a close family member," Simmons said. "And then last night. … We just can't take this game for granted. We never know. We just get sidetracked sometimes of the real reason why we play this game and sometimes we can forget that. We're playing for each other, we're playing for our family and most of all we're playing for ourselves because that's all we've been doing our whole life. I'm sure (Hamlin), this is all he knew his whole life. You never know when your last snap may be. It's just one of the things you can't take for granted. I'm praying for him and his family."
Titans safety Kevin Byard said he was watching the game at home.
CPR was administered to Hamlin, 24, on the field for multiple minutes after he collapsed following his tackle of Higgins. Hamlin received oxygen, according to the ESPN broadcast, as he was placed in the ambulance and taken off the field and driven to the nearby University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
"Nobody goes into a game thinking they can lose their life," Titans safety Kevin Byard said. "My mom went into cardiac arrest when she passed away, so I understand the seriousness of the situation, him being in critical condition. He is fighting for his life literally.
"It is a tough deal, and my thoughts and prayers are with his family, his loved ones."
