On the heels of one of the most emotional weeks in NFL history, the Bills responded with an equally emotional win.
Buffalo topped the Patriots 35–23 while keeping the health of their teammate, safety Damar Hamlin, in mind. The 24-year-old entered cardiac arrest during the Bills’ since-canceled Week 17 game against the Bengals on Monday night.
Running back Nyheim Hines provided an unforgettable moment on the game’s first play, returning the opening kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown. He later replicated the feat with a 101-yard return in the third quarter, after which Buffalo led 21–17.
