Who is Damar Hamlin?
Damar Hamlin is a professional American football player who plays as a safety for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the NFL.

He went undrafted in the 2021 NFL Draft, but was signed by the Steelers as a free agent shortly afterwards.

He is known for his versatility and ability to play multiple positions in the secondary.
What kind of sport is American football?
American football is a sport played by two teams of eleven players on a rectangular field. The field is divided into two halves by a line running from one end of the field to the other. The team with possession of the ball, known as the offense, tries to move the ball down the field by either running with it or throwing it to a teammate. The other team, known as the defense, tries to stop the offense and take control of the ball.
The offense has four chances, or downs, to move the ball at least 10 yards down the field. If they are successful, they are given a new set of downs. If they fail to gain 10 yards, possession of the ball goes to the other team.
The offense can score points in several ways. The most common way is by scoring a touchdown, which is worth six points. A touchdown is scored when a player carries the ball across the opponent's goal line or catches a pass in the end zone. The team can also score points by kicking the ball through the opponent's goalposts, called a field goal, which is worth three points.
The defense can also score points by tackling an offensive player in their own end zone, called a safety, which is worth two points.
The team that has possession of the ball can either run with it or throw it to a teammate. The players on the offense are made up of a quarterback, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, and offensive linemen. The quarterback is the leader of the offense and is responsible for receiving the ball from the center and either running with it or throwing it to a teammate. The running backs and wide receivers are responsible for catching passes and running with the ball, while the tight ends and offensive linemen are responsible for blocking defenders and protecting the quarterback.
The players on the defense are made up of defensive linemen, linebackers, and defensive backs. Their job is to stop the offense and try to tackle the player with the ball.
The game is played in four quarters, with each quarter lasting 15 minutes. If the score is tied at the end of the fourth quarter, the game can go into overtime, where the first team to score wins the game.
American football is a physically demanding sport that requires a combination of strength, speed, agility, and strategy. It is played at the high school, college, and professional levels in the United States and is also popular in other countries around the world.
The NFL game has been suspended
The NFL's Monday Night Football game between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals was suspended after an on-field incident involving Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin. During the first quarter of the game, Hamlin collided with an opponent and fell to the ground. He received medical attention for over 30 minutes before being taken to a local hospital in critical condition. Players from both teams gathered around Hamlin during the treatment, with several visibly distressed and praying for his well-being. The NFL suspended the game for the night about an hour after the incident and released a statement expressing their thoughts and concern for Hamlin and the Buffalo Bills. The NFL Players Association also released a statement expressing their prayers for Hamlin and his family. The game, which was a matchup between two top Super Bowl contenders, may not resume anytime soon as the Bills are reportedly flying back to New York instead of staying in Cincinnati. Well wishes have poured in from across the NFL and beyond, with many expressing hope for Hamlin's recovery.
