The NFL is truly a family.
As the hours go on, we hope to receive an update about that official, as fans and his family would love to know that he is okay. The name of the chain gang member has not been released and is unlikely to be until his family is notified of what is happening with him.
We here at Total Pro Sports send out prayers for him.
Aside from the frightening moment, both the Ravens and Raiders are trying to secure their first victory of the season.
The Baltimore Ravens lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the season opener on Thursday Night Football on the road at Arrowhead Stadium.
The Raiders, meanwhile, lost to the Los Angeles Chargers while on the road in a game that featured a fight on the field and plenty of fights in the stands and outside the stadium.
The current contest between the two is tied at six as we head to halftime.
