A scary moment occurred late in the second quarter of the Las Vegas Raiders vs. Baltimore Ravens game. One of the chain crew (also known as the “chain gang”) collapsed on the Ravens’ sideline. Medical officials immediately administered CPR, and he was carted off the field and taken inside the stadium’s medical facilities. The Ravens’ social media account promptly posted an update confirming the official was awake, alert and responsive.
