ESPN said that it stands by its report that the NFL was planning to restart the Buffalo Bills–Cincinnati Bengals game after Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field and suffered a cardiac arrest on Monday night.
After Hamlin’s collapse, ESPN reported during its “Monday Night Football” telecast that after Hamlin was taken off the field during the game’s first quarter, play would resume and that both teams were provided a 5-minute warm-up notice. The game was instead postponed, and the NFL issued a statement on Tuesday that it will not resume this week.
