The Buffalo Bills honored their safety, Damar Hamlin, before their game on Sunday. Then, on the game’s opening kick, they returned it for a touchdown for the first time in 18 years.
Buffalo’s Nyhiem Hines returned the kick 96 yards and added fuel to an already fired-up crowd.
The score brought an immediate reaction from a fired-up Damar Hamlin, who tweeted from his hospital bed.
The Bills entered the stadium as a team Sunday, carrying #3 flags for Damar Hamlin.
Hamlin’s condition has been steadily improving since his collapse on the field Monday night due to cardiac arrest.
