Buffalo Bills star Josh Allen has laughed off conspiracy theories that a body double attended their divisional round defeat to the Cincinnati Bengals, rather than Damar Hamlin.
Hamlin was in the locker room with his teammates before the game and he waved from a box to fans and the TV cameras in Orchard Park on Sunday as he continues to recover from a cardiac arrest. The 24-year-old collapsed when the Bills and Bengals met in Cincinnati in Week 17 on January 2, spending nine days in hospital before being discharged to continue his recovery at home.
The second-year safety was present at Sunday's 27-10 divisional-round defeat, and was sat in a suite with his family - including his younger brother. However, a large number of social media users and conspiracy theorists proliferated that it was not Hamlin waving to the crowd and visiting his teammates before and after the game, but a body double – due to the fact his face was covered by large sunglasses and a face covering amid freezing temperatures and heavy snow.
