Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin returned on Sunday to the field where he suffered cardiac arrest during a game, less than a year after the tackle that changed his life.
Hamlin, 25, had not been back to Cincinnati’s Paycor Stadium since the mid-game cardiac event in January that nearly killed him. “We made the right steps as far as just addressing the elephant in the room,” Hamlin said on TODAY of his team’s return to the stadium. “But, ultimately, our focus all week has been about coming up here to get a win.” Hamlin collapsed on the field on Jan. 2 after he tackled a Bengals receiver during a game broadcast on “Monday Night Football.
in front of the entire world and then come into that same stadium and stand in whatever role that I have and support my team — I think that shows a lot of strength, a lot of courage, a lot of pride, a lot of confidence.” The Bengals beat the Bills 24-18, but Hamlin’s trip to Ohio was about more than just football.
