NFL pauses in deference to Bills safety Damar Hamlin

An indefinite pause marked the day after as the NFL focused its attention on Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin.

Hamlin, 24, collapsed due to cardiac arrest and required life-saving CPR on the turf in the middle of the first quarter of the game between the Bills and Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night. He was transported to University of Cincinnati Medical Center, and NFL Network and ESPN reported Tuesday morning that he remained in critical condition.

Hamlin's family issued a statement later in the day.

"On behalf of our family, we want to express our sincere gratitude for the love and support shown to Damar during this challenging time.
