I could see the players thinking it would.. Cause that is what normally happens. 

Agreed on both....and I think it's possible an official may have suggested that without knowing just how bad this was going to turn out. And yes Xeno, both Diggs and McDermott initially tried to get everyone together and calmed down, thinking it might go back live. I've seen reports and a shout out to Katie Blackburn for immediately contacting the league office and staying in contact with them throughout the process. It may have even been her cellphone that McDermott and Zac were talking on outside of the Bills locker room.

As to the premise of the OP, I do think Zac approached Sean and the officials and said "Hey, let's get these guys to the locker room and go from there."

I'm super proud of him, Katie, the players, and most importantly, our fans. There were even Bengals fans joining Bills fans outside of the hospital in a candle light vigil. Zac was at the hospital. All class from top to bottom. As sick as I am about Damar, I am proud of our people.
