The Buffalo Bills and their fans planned several tributes to safety Damar Hamlin for the team's game Sunday — No. 3 jerseys, homemade T-shirts and even a 10-foot wide get-well card.
On their first play since a terrifying scene Monday, when Hamlin went into cardiac arrest during a game in Cincinnati, Bills return man Nyheim Hines ran the opening kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown against the New England Patriots.
“OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!,” Hamlin tweeted after Hines' touchdown. He also shared a photo of himself making a heart with his hands from his hospital bed shortly before kickoff with the text “GAMETIME!!! @BuffaloBills.” “Watching it live, it was sad to see,” said Kyle Blaney, wearing a Patriots jersey. “But it’s good to see everyone coming together to support him, not just Bills fans."
NFL fans everywhere have joined in supporting Hamlin this week, including many who contributed over $8 million to Hamlin's Chasing M's Foundation. Sunday brought a chance to pay tribute together during the last week of the NFL season. The NFL is paying tribute to the player during all Week 18 games, which began Saturday, including a pregame moment of support and painting Hamlin’s No. 3 on the 30-yard line. The Bills will also wear “3” jersey patches.Hamlin was being celebrated by fans in Cincinnati, where the Bengals hosted Baltimore.
Sue Sonner wore a former Bills quarterback EJ Manuel’s No. 3 jersey, in which her husband covered over the player’s name with Hamlin.
