Bills fans show Damar Hamlin love with chant after big win

With countless fans wearing Hamlin’s number and holding signs and banners in support of the young athlete after he went into cardiac arrest on the football field last week, the Bills faithful took a chance to rally everybody around Hamlin as they turn their attention to the NFL playoffs. With the win on Sunday, Buffalo clinched the No. 2 seed in the playoffs and earned the right to play home games until at least the AFC Championship Game.

The arena didn’t take long to explode with love for their team and Hamlin early in the game either, as the Bills returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown in a moment that couldn’t have been scripted any better after an exhausting week for the franchise and their players.

Hamlin’s continued recovery from the hospital after being unable to breathe under his own power has been a tremendous inspiration for the football world, as well as a chance for fans to rally behind a positive message throughout the week. As football begins to return to a semblance of normal again after Hamlin’s on-field tragedy, Sunday’s spontaneous chant proves that the Bills are playing for more than just business as usual for the remainder of this season.
