Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin recorded the first interception of his career on a pickoff of Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
It was nearly two years ago when NFL fans held their collective breath as medical professionals worked to revive Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin on the field, and since then, he’s gotten through each obstacle that would have precluded him from remaining a football player. On Monday night against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Hamlin intercepted a pass from Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence in the second quarter. It was the first interception of his career.
The Bills Mafia that packed Highmark Stadium erupted in jubilation after the turnover. Buffalo capitalized on the next drive as Josh Allen threw his third touchdown pass of the game. Hamlin was coming off a game against the Miami Dolphins in which he had 10 tackles, including one for a loss. He tied for the second-most tackles in a game in his career.
’m just living my process and my journey and mission in life one day at a time,' he told Fox News Digital this month ahead of the Bills’ first game of the season. 'Being able to take my process one day at a time has truly been the biggest thing for me.' For the defensive back, he said he did not need to recalibrate his mindset to start focusing on football again. Football is always what he has been about. 'Football has always been the main theme,' he said.
