NFL’s Chain Gang Received CPR After Collapsing on the Sideline During Ravens-Raiders Game

A member of the NFL’s chain gang collapsed during the second quarter of the Week 2 matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and Las Vegas Raiders.

With 2:36 left in the quarter, the worker suddenly fell to the ground, prompting immediate action from the Ravens’ medical staff, who rushed to his aid and administered CPR, according to CBS Sports.

Players and coaches from both teams took a knee on the field, many visibly shaken as they watched the medical staff battle to save a life.

The worker was attended to before being loaded onto a stretcher and taken off the field, where he was reportedly responsive and moving his hands and arms.
