Everyone expected Sunday’s game featuring the Buffalo Bills to be dramatic, but nobody could have expected it would play out the way it did.
Six days after Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest on the football field, the rest of his team returned to the field.
The game started with an incredible kickoff return for a touchdown.
The Buffalo Bills went on to beat their division rival New England Patriots to finish the regular season. The Bills returned two kickoffs for touchdowns.
Following the game, Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen discussed the sequence of events.
“I can’t remember a play that touched me like that, I don’t think in my life,” Alle said. “It’s probably number one. It was just spiritual. I was just going around and, I was just going around my teammates saying — ‘God’s real.’ Like, you can’t, you can’t draw that one up, write that one up any better.”
Allen said it’s been three years and three months since the last kickoff return for a touchdown.
Damar Hamlin wears No. 3.
