On Monday Night Football, a very scary incident took place during the game between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals when Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field. Hamlin was given CPR on the field before being transported by ambulance to a local hospital, where he has been on a breathing tube ever since. Now, less than four full days later, Hamlin has had his breathing tube taken out. On Friday, he was able to communicate with his teammates.
What did Damar Hamlin say to his teammates on Friday?
On Friday morning, Bills head coach Sean McDermott met with his team and told them he had a surprise to show them. That surprise, if you have not already guessed, was a Zoom meeting with Damar Hamlin.
According to reports, when Hamlin appeared on the screen, the entire Bills team stood up and began clapping.
“The guys immediately stood up when they saw… it was brief but much needed, hopefully for Damar but also for the team,” McDermott said on WGR 550 Friday morning.
Hamlin then delivered a message to his teammates by making a heart with his hands and saying, “I love you, boys.”
This is obviously some OUTSTANDING news and it just shows what the power of prayer can do!
