It was quite the crazy afternoon in Chicago this past Sunday as not only was Solider Field evacuated thanks to tornadoes in the area, but both the Bears and Baltimore Ravens gave us a thrilling overtime game.

Unfortunately, Baltimore Ravnes general manager Ozzie Newsome didn’t get the full experience as he reportedly fell ill during the game and was rushed to a local area hospital after he was reportedly sweating profusely.

Thankfully, it sounds as if it was nothing overly serious as Newsome is already on his way back to Baltimore and said he is ‘feeling fine’:

"Ravens General Manager and Executive Vice President Ozzie Newsome is on his way back to Baltimore this morning and he said he is “feeling fine.”Newsome is expected to be back in the Ravens office and on the treadmill soon."

The 57-year-old general manager also said that all of his tests checked out fine and the doctors ‘didn’t find anything’.

Newsome says he expects to be back reviewing tape of the game at some point on Monday.
