Steelers players should probably retire their CPR celebration.
Less than a week ago, Bills Damar Hamlin was given CPR by medical personnel for several minutes after his heart stopped when he took a hit to the chest on Monday night.
Bills safety Damar Hamlin was taken off the field in an ambulance after receiving treatment for over 10 minutes.

CPR was administered to Hamlin, 24, on the field for multiple minutes after he collapsed following his tackle of Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins. Hamlin received oxygen, according to the ESPN broadcast, as he was placed in the ambulance and taken off the field some 16 minutes after he collapsed. He then was driven to the nearby University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
On Sunday, Steelers players were seen doing a CPR celebration after a sack during their game against the Browns.
