It should be remembered that after the incident Hamlin could not communicate verbally and had to do so through writing. A few days ago, when he woke up in the hospital, the 24-year-old’s first question was whether his team had won.
Last Monday, when the Bills fell 3-7 and there were a few minutes left in the first quarter of the game, Damar collapsed and doctors had to enter the field of Paul Brown Stadium, home of the Bengals, to apply cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to the player. ).
This caused the game to be stopped and later suspended due to the emergency transfer of the player to the local University of Cincinnati Medical Center hospital, where thanks to the intervention of medical personnel he did not die.
Precisely about the commitment, the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, who assured that this duel of week 17 will not resume. A decision that clearly affects the aspirations of the Bills. The New York team is second in the AFC with a 12-3 record, second only to the Chief, who has a record of 13 wins and three losses.
Now, the Bills will face the Patriots this Sunday, January 8 and there will be a special tribute to Damar Hamlin with tributes throughout the NFL during week 18.
