“Monday Night Football” brought back a very painful memory for Sharon Hughes, the widow of late former Lions receiver Chuck Hughes.
Chuck Hughes was 28 years old when he collapsed and died in a game against the Bears in 1971. His widow, Sharon, now 77, spoke to NBC News about what went through her mind when she saw Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapse on the field after suffering cardiac arrest Monday night against the Bengals.
“I was very emotional,” she said.
Her thoughts turned to Hamlin’s family.
“Can you imagine how his mother felt?” Hughes aked. “It’s a horrifying feeling and, well, I just felt so sorry for the whole family last night.”
Hamlin collapsed after a play in which he tackled Bengals wideout Tee Higgins.
