GREEN BAY, Wisc. – A fairly entertaining preseason game between the Patriots and the Green Bay Packers suddenly turned into Damar Hamlin flashbacks.
And older Patriot fans had Darryl Stingley flashbacks.
Back in December, Hamlin went into cardiac arrest on the field in Cincinnati, was rushed to a nearby hospital, and caused the game between the Bengals and the Buffalo Bills to be suspended. The nation looked on in horror as Hamlin survived in the end but nearly died that night if not for the quick and expert work of the EMTs that attended to him.
Now, on Saturday night at Lambeau Field, Isaiah Bolden, a rookie defensive back who was also being vetted for kick return duty, hopefully got the same quick care and attention that Hamlin got eight months ago.
