New Orleans Saints linebacker Demario Davis opened up about a scary incident involving his 4-year-old daughter a few days before he had to go out and play against the Tennessee Titans.

Davis said his daughter suffered her third epileptic seizure. He said she seized for 30 minutes and that his wife Tamela, who rode with the child in an ambulance, told him that their daughter stopped breathing twice on the way to the hospital. Davis played with a heavy heart in Sunday’s 16-15 win, racking up 10 tackles in the game – one of which was for a loss.

"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."

Davis then talked about a "knock" he heard this week and talked about the harrowing moments with his daughter. He said he was very worried she would suffer some kind of developmental issue.

"We prayed and we prayed and she had medicine, and my wife and I had to stay overnight at the hospital," Davis said. "And in the middle of the night, probably about 3 o'clock, I heard a knock. And the knock was my daughter. I said, 'God, let this be just be an attack from the enemy that's just trying to be a distraction, and let him have overplayed his hand and my daughter
