A Cincinnati Bengals fan is being credited with saving the life of a Las Vegas Raiders fan before last weekend’s Wild Card game.

Fire Department officials said that Bengals fan Jerry Mills, a former ER nurse and Covington firefighter, was walking to Paul Brown Stadium when he discovered Raiders fan Ed Fernandes lying on the ground.

Mills said Fernandes had no pulse, so he and other Good Samaritans started CPR until more medics arrived.

Doctors said Fernandes is scheduled for surgery on Thursday, and Mills’ actions helped save his life.
