Exactly. You can fault the NFL for poor communications in the immediate aftermath, but you could do the same thing for the Bengals. The fans sat in the stands with no communication about the situation for a long time. Then finally they made an announcement that the game was temporarily suspended, and then much later that it was postponed.
There were no announcements about the situation or the status of the player at all in the stadium besides that. Fans were largely awesome in their behavior and patience entirely thanks to the obvious gravity of the situation and information gathered and shared from the radio and social media.
But we have no axe to grind and we understand that it was a dire situation that had never occurred in the modern era.
