Damar Hamlin helped get the Bills a fourth-down stop in his triumphant NFL return

Damar Hamlin NFL Bills Colts Buffalo Bills

After suffering a cardiac arrest episode during a Monday Night Football game in January, Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has made his triumphant return to the football field.

Hamlin suited up for Buffalo’s home preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday, completing his miraculous comeback after suffering his life-threatening health scare.

His story has become one of the most inspiring in the NFL in some time, and it’s even sparked an advocacy effort to get life-saving automated external defibrillators in all athletic facilities across the country.

Hamlin has already received a hero’s welcome from Bills fans during training camp, and his return to actual NFL gameplay stands as one of the best moments we’ll see in sports this year.

Hamlin even helped his team’s defense get a fourth-down stop on the Colts during the game’s first quarter.

Hamlin’s jersey also adorned the windows of a game ambulance in the tunnel at Buffalo’s Highmark Stadium, honoring the men and women whose swift medical actions helped save Hamlin’s life.

After such a long journey to get back on the field, Hamlin can finally get back to his NFL career. This time, he’ll have fans from all 32 NFL teams cheering on his success.

NFL fans absolutely loved seeing Hamlin back.
