In the NFL, the Baltimore Ravens and Las Vegas Raiders game took a scary turn as a chain crew member suddenly collapsed on the sidelines.

An unusual and frightening incident occurred on Sunday afternoon in Baltimore when a member of the chain crew lost consciousness during the game.
As reported by Ari Meirov on X, medical officials quickly administered CPR. He eventually left the field on a cart before being transported to a nearby hospital.
This is a scene that no one wants to see, including players and fans. There are a lot of risks in playing football, but it's rare to witness an employee on the sidelines faint.
The Baltimore Ravens released the following statement:
"Sunday's Ravens-Raiders game at M&T Bank Stadium was paused for several minutes due to a scary incident when a member of the chain gang crew collapsed on the sideline.

Per a statement from the team, 'he was immediately attended to by medical personnel. Upon leaving the field, he was alert and responsive. He's being taken to a local hospital.'

Players, coaches, and personnel took a knee on the field in prayer for the person, who was loaded onto a stretcher and taken off the field."

As of now, no updates have been made on the employee's health.
We send him our thoughts and hope that he'll be back on his feet soon.
