Following the Bills’ 41-7 victory, head coach Sean McDermott told reporters that he spoke to Jackson in the tunnel before the ambulance left for the hospital.

“You go from being a coach to just being a human when I’m out there watching him getting loaded into the ambulance. That’s a real moment,” McDermott said, via News 4 Buffalo. “Just praying for him. It’s an unfortunate situation. We’re praying for him and hopefully we get some word here soon.”
