On January 2, 2023, 24-year-old NFL player Damar Hamlin collapsed in the middle of the field during the first quarter of the Monday Night Football game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Hamlin was down on the field for several minutes as medical personnel rushed onto the area and gave him CPR for 9 minutes as his heart stopped. After reviving him, Hamlin was loaded into an ambulance and taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.

Hamlin was then treated at the hospital, and triumphantly made a full recovery, even being cleared by medical personnel a few months ago to return to football.

Just one month after the scary incident, Hamlin sat down with Michael Strahan on "Good Morning America" to talk about how grateful he is to be alive.

"Things could have gone differently and the details of the situation of everything that happened on the field -- it could have been -- it could have been the last of me."

After being treated in the hospital, the very first thing Hamlin asked was "Did we win?" Doctors replied, "Yes. You won the game of life," he said.

"I'm just thankful [God] gave me a second chance, you know, just to live normally and just come out almost without a scratch on me," Hamlin told Strahan in the interview. "Just to be able to keep going."

On October 1, 2023, the Buffalo Bills Safety made his regular-season debut.
