Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott emotionally revealed what it was like to speak to Damar Hamlin as the safety continues his remarkable recovery from a terrifying cardiac arrest.
On Monday, the crucial game between the Bills and Cincinnati Bengals - which was set to play a big role in deciding the first seed in the AFC - was suspended following Hamlin’s collapse. With just under six minutes remaining in the opening quarter, the 24-year-old fell to the turf after making a tackle and had to be revived on the field before he was rushed to the University of Cincinnati hospital.
There has been a tsunami of support for Hamlin and his family in the aftermath of the worrying scenes, with the sporting world uniting together behind the safety to recover. On Thursday, University of Cincinnati Health physicians Dr. Timothy Pritts and Dr. William Knight announced Hamlin began to wake up that morning, while they confirmed his neurologically function was intact.
