Member of Ravens-Raiders Chain Crew Taken to Hospital

Chain Gain

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.

"I'm just grateful that he was revived. Thank God," Head Coach John Harbaugh said after the game. "Thank God, first of all, because there were prayers being made. I promise you there were prayers being made right there touching him for God to bring him back, bring him back, bring him back, and God answered that.

"For the EMS people, they were on the spot. They jumped right into action, man. They were heroes out there today. That gentleman has been on our sideline, he's a wonderful person – we see him every week – and to see those guys do their job and him come back like that was just ... it was a miracle."
