During the Ravens vs. Raiders game on Sunday, an unexpected interruption occurred.

In the middle of the second quarter, the action was paused when a member of the chain gang faced a medical emergency.

The sideline official, who was responsible for the first-down chain marker, collapsed suddenly, prompting immediate attention from medical staff.

Quick Response and Medical Attention

As the official received CPR on the sidelines, both teams took a knee in a show of respect and concern.

The official was eventually carried off the field on a stretcher and transported to the hospital.

According to updates from the Ravens on X, he was “alert and responsive” during his removal.

Witnesses also noted that he was seen waving his hand and moving his mouth as he was stretchered away.

Game Impact and Outcome

The game was briefly halted for about 10 minutes due to the emergency.

Once play resumed, the Ravens ultimately fell to the Raiders with a score of 26-23, having given up a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter.
