Sharon Hughes was watching Monday night\u2019s game from her Texas home when she saw Hamlin collapse on the field.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was very emotional,\u201d Hughes, 77 said Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Just as Sharon Hughes rode to the hospital in an ambulance with her husband after he collapsed on the field, Hamlin\u2019s mother reportedly rode in an ambulance with her son after his collapse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan you imagine how his mother felt?\u201d Hughes stated. \u201cIt\u2019s a horrifying feeling, and, well, I just felt so sorry for the whole family last night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brandon Shane Hughes, 53, who was almost 2 years old when his father died, said of Hamlin\u2019s family, \u201cI would be more than happy to speak with them. We certainly understand what they\u2019re going through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat happened to my father in 1971 is the Stone Ages as far as medicine goes compared to today,\u201d He concluded. \u201cAre these young men getting the medical care and screenings that they should?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chuck Hughes was a college star at Texas Western College. He was a replacement player for an injured player on the day that he died. Hughes caught a 32-yard touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter as the Lions were trailing 23-23.<\/p>\n<p>Hughes ran back to the huddle three plays later when the Lions&#8217; quarterback Greg Landry dropped a pass by Charlie Sanders in the end zone. Hughes began to have convulsions and collapsed around the 20-yard mark.<\/p>\n<p>Bears Football Hall-of-Fame middle linebacker Dick Butkus frantically alerted the officials and the sideline, prompting the Lions\u2019 and Bears\u2019 doctors and trainers to attempt to save Hughes. He was taken by Henry Ford Hospital and declared dead at 50 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>After Hughes was taken away, the game continued. Later, it was discovered that Hughes had undiagnosed advanced arteriosclerosis. He also died from coronary thrombosis.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon Hughes stated Tuesday that \u201cYou can\u2019t blame football. I never did.\u201d\u00a0She said that Hamlin was the only thing she was thinking about. \u201cHe\u2019s alive.
