Damar Hamlin, who plays safety for the NFL's Buffalo Bills, received CPR and was carted off the field in an ambulance on Monday night, after collapsing to the ground following a tackle against Cincinnati Bengals receiver Tee Higgins. The hit came in the first quarter of the game in Cincinnati. Mr Hamlin reportedly hit Mr Higgins on a play, stood to his feet, then crumpled to the ground. First-responders rushed on field and administered CPR, before driving the injured safety away in an ambulance. "Have never seen what's happening in this Bengals-Bills game," sports journalist Jemele Hill wrote on Twitter on Monday. "Player has been down for several minutes and is receiving CPR, according to the broadcast. This is truly terrifying. Praying for Damar Hamlin." Players on both the Bills and the Bengals could be seen kneeling, crying, standing near Mr Hamlin, and praying as the player received treatment. |

What is Damp January and how does it differ from Dry January? |
As the end of the indulgent holiday season draws near once more, some have already begun setting resolutions for a healthier new year. For many, this means participating in Dry January, an annual initiative that encourages individuals to give up alcohol for all 31 days in January. The health benefits to those who attempt the challenge, and successfully abstain from alcohol consumption, are well-documented, and include improved sleep, skin and liver health among other benefits. In the US, the challenge has increased in popularity in recent years, with 2022 seeing participation grow to 35 per cent, according to CGA, a company that specialises in food and drink data research. Of those who attempted the challenge, CGA reports 74 per cent succeeded. However, as previous studies have found, the majority of New Year's resolutions fail, with research showing only 19 per cent of individuals achieve the goals they set at the start of January. As a result, a new take on Dry January has emerged, with many instead attempting "Damp January". |
